One of the real blessings here is that Christmas is Christmas, not some stupid secular event like ‘winterval’. The meaning of Christmas is important and the sales drive behind Christmas in the UK is very much missing here. Although probably not for too many more years.
We broke the day up with a walk at Radloff Park (opposite where we used to live) and Joel really enjoyed throwing stones in the river, this used to be one of his favourite pastimes but we rarely go to the river these days.
After a relaxing afternoon (Paula doesn’t see it that way!) we got the boys off to bed and had a superb Christmas dinner with almost all the trimmings, but it was Fab regardless! Yes we did find sprouts.
Delighted with his clockwork bug
Eli's stacking cups were a huge hit!
The first of many performances by Joel, this one featured Captain Hook and a Dragon
