christmas 2012 was good. we spent christmas day with hannah and mark and ivy - although hannah had to work 2-8 we made the most of the day. visited amy and matt and the children for a few hours in the afternoon, played articulate, ate french bread and pate and drank wine...mark cooked dinner and when hannah came home we sat down to eat a delicious xmas meal...no room for pudding though and havent touched any since...will save it for new year!
boxing day with hb and mark at our house - walk round bodiam castle, drink at the pig, game of balderdash and watched 'the holiday' to round off a perfect day.
thursday we saw joel, natalie and the children (they popped in to see nanny ivy beforehand which she enjoyed) we had gammon, chips and beans for lunch and a marshmallow jelly plus trifle that natalie made and was scrumptious.
we had lovely presents from everyone - homemade produce, calendar of the grandchildren, dvds, books, everything was wonderful.
