Playing catch-up a bit once again.  Am back at work reflecting on a successful, enjoyable and exhausting Christmas break.  We had ten solid days of family visits, starting with Nana and Sazza, followed by Granny Gillie and finishing with Grandpa Robin and Alison plus an encore from N&S on New Years Eve.  Much food was consumed, and a reasonable, responsible amount of drink.

Notable highlights include: Christmas Day morning with the boys as they realise Father Christmas had indeed been, as evidenced by the filled stockings, bulging under tree area and consumed carrot, minced pie and wine (Daddy was too tight to open a bottle of port or sherry); visiting Great Grandfather on his birthday, who seemed delighted to see his great grandchildren and was reportedly very happy with the photographic evidence; and the New Years Day walk around Buxted Park with Grandpa Robin and Alison that had to happen the following day due to weather conditions.

And so back to work for a well earned rest.  Happy New Year to all.
