The memory of Christmas, now 4 days old, is reduced to a warm comforting sense of a good time. After opening gifts and enjoying a cuppa and toast we prepared for a late lunch. We had a real feast. Gathered around the kitchen table in a comfortable squeeze we laughed and joked whilst drinking champagne and munching through a smoked salmon starter. Alan and Debbie made the numbers up to 7. The turkey was more than a match for our appetites and seemed hardly changed after we had done our best. We finished off with the traditional pud.
Christmas time spent with family and friends is special and apart from the occasional argument about the contents of a cracker or the whereabouts of some Christmas trinket; there was little negativity to dampen the mood. Instead light banter and laughter, seasoned with smiling eyes was the main course.
If you are following on from my last post; you will remember I was due to present the Open Roads charity to a county council member. It went well and I will aim to repeat the presentation at the council offices to a broader audience.

Hi Jules, yes Christmases come and go and this year and next we are having several. But I will always cherish the near Christmas event when we stole Mr Shah's samosas!
Live and love at a sped that takes your breath away.
Can I come to see you in the new year

So glad to hear that you all had a lovely Christmas. It makes such a difference hearing positive remarks like that. It was good chatting to Alex, Carmen and Ruth on that special day and just having their "presence" must have made your day.
Well, the old year is on its way out and the new will be here within a few hours. Hope you have been blessed once again by having the family around you.
Love
Mom
