Christmas

Today after breakfast we drove up from the Red Rose County where we had been visiting the memsahib to spend the remainder of Christmas Day with Joe, Layla and Bella.
The drive was uneventful and it was lovely to see the family with all their presents and the Christmas tree gave us a welcome glow.
We had a delicious Christmas Dinner Layla excelled with her nut roast on croute and vegetables. The table looked lovely and Bella did a great job of ironing the serviettes with her new iron and ironing board!
We then had a break watching two films--Grandpa had a sleep before the Christmas Pud, which was brought to the table in flames whilst we sang 'We wish you a Merry Christmas'.
After this we played Twister lots of laughs and contortions --the Wonder Dog couldn't understand why he wasn't allowed to play!
Thanks Joe, Layla and Bella we had a fun time:)
Monday was a stay at home do some cleaning day--Tuesday took Ruaridh for his constitutional then set off to meet up with Miss B we had a lovely time in Helios Fountain then a drink before heading for home. Family here for dinner--good evening.
Wednesday drove over to Newhaven to take the Wonder Dog for a walk as I was going to get my hair done. Had a lovely walk along the shore then went to get my hair done. Then over to see the girls, quick lunch then to the allotment for Bella to dig up the parsnips and potatoes (with her new fork and spade) for the Christmas dinner.
Then to a new cafe called 'The Haven' for tea and biscuits, lovely place and the girl who owns it was very pleasant -- I'm sure she will do well!
