The photos show something of our Christmas Day which started at the civilised time of 7am which is long way from the days when we literally got no sleep at all with the children being so excited waiting for Santa.

Bridie did the cooking this year for the first time and what a great job she did with everything from a green leaf starter with roasted veg, carrot and coriander soup, Christmas dinner itself, Christmas pudding and yule log and cheese and crackers to finish. I struggled walking the dogs afterwards and perhaps wobbled along rather than walked.
