Christmas has been and gone.....
So time to catch up with the blog. So to start with Christmas morning.....
Quite a fun Christmas morning, no real rush through the pressies and of course we had the video chat on which was fun We had a proper Christmas lunch for the four of us and then we whizzed to see the Dode's. Dodo on good form, didn't seem to want to open presents but was happy.
After this we went to Jo and Nevs for tea - Pete and Gwen were there as well so more pressies!!
28th we went to Great Rollright for a couple of days. Sara and the kids went to to the Chipping Norton pantomime with all the other 'Williams' while I was in charge of picking them up and arranging a Chinese. David Cameron (Tory leader) was at the panto and spoke to me as he left......he said shift!!!
The it was time to get ready for a New Years Eve party. We'd set a Spanish theme so had to get the red and yellow decorations up, balloons, bunting etc. and of course we had to sort out costumes. People started arriving at 8 and we had the usual modern day festivities of Wii olympics and flamenco dancing....
Flan Dina and Milla came along...
At 12 the tradition is to eat a grape for each of the 'bongs' of the clock. Don't know if the bongs are faster or slower in Spain, but wasn't as easy as people expected..
