Bella and her Piano

This afternoon went over to the family's to visit and have Christmas dinner with them. They had all got lovely gifts and Granny K
brought lots of nice surprises from Sri Lanka a sarong for Joe, some loose trousers for Layla and a lovely red party dress for Bella. We got a lovely photograph off them which I had admired when Joe was doing his exhibition. Great Granny M got a lovely Photo Album of photo's of Bella's first year. Bella got a baby piano and entertained us no end banging away on the keys, dancing and singing.
We had a lovely meal I made a veggie pie using hot water pastry for the first time, though I say it myself it was delicious. Layla and Joe did wonders with all the vegetables and we had roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots and brussel sprouts, onion gravy made by Graham. The Christmas Pud was from The Duchy and a fine one it was too, with rum sauce made by Layla, Champagane all round one glass for moi as I was the driver tonight. A lovely Christmas Day with lovely presents Thanks to the family for having us.
Oh how could I forget Ruaridh had a birthday today he is 3 years old. He also got lots of extra food as it was Christmas. I think he had a good day. Fast asleep on the sofa now. I'm away to bed. Goodnight.
