Has Obama been the fresh broom we all hoped for?  Well after looking at the red necks coming through he republican primaries one can only hope that our colonials vote for him again come November !!!

Crimble was stress free, agony free and very nearly alcohol free!! Loads left in The Nest  - made some big boo boos with the wine - a crummy expensive rioja,  a car wash French Shiraz and an Eiswein that really should have been MUCH better !!  Anyway....

Had a trip to Weymouth to see the kids 

We saw a reindeer :)

We had a birthday girl (84 and still keeping us in check!)

and the birthday food was YUMMY!!

As for the organisation of Christmas Day itself....our young lady awaoke to a Stocking for the first time since she was aty school !! We heard a squeek!!

The laydees of the house had a RELAXING time...

 and my favourite part was ...

so, we're looking forward to 2012 with hope....

CHEERS

Merry Christmas To All...

Are we ready for Crimble...NO..well, nearly :))

• Pickles made...Check
• Christmas cake made AND given drinks... Check
• Shopping list made...Check
• Venison (YES!!!) ordered...Check
• House tidy...err no
• Decorations up...err no

It IS the intention to have as much HOME made 'stuff' as possible - so lots of baking, cooking and all to be done in the inimitable style of the late and much

lamented Floyd - pass the vino please ::)))

A little bit of R & R

We are here in the 'wilds' of Staffordshire at a wonderful friends place.

Right now I'm sat in the dark in the front room, in which the only electronic entertainment is a radio glued to BBC Radio 3, looking through a curtain-less window the size of a good shop front, at a fabulously clear pre dawn sky with an amber full moon looming over us all.

The grandfather clock is tick tocking, the cup of tea is steaming and there is not a movement anywhere, in the house or the fields that lead up to the trees on the ridge in the horizon (not a long distance horizon - don't think Salt Plain Flats!!)

We come here to be with a kind, gentle (some would say eccentric) man and to be looked after with peace, dignity and good food :)

Well....

Stopped for a pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord on the way home...now cooking supper (Chicken & leek pie with sweet potato mash topping ) aka Floyd style...and thinking to myself is it wrong to be looking forward to a very uncomplicated Christmas this year - not going anywhere, cooking for three, two TV's (SKY multichannel and Sky +), three electric get comfortable chairs, lots of  broadband, close to the football teams i wish to see over the festive period - headphones if I get fed up with the Christmas noise ....wrong ??

Ahhhhhhh

Little boy getting bigger...mobile & a smiler :)
