Hi All,
Rhona and I are down at our caravan on the Northumberland coast, she's got a joint of beef and a ham roasting in the oven for tomorrow, the Central Heating is performing admirably and we're warm, comfortable, have been spared for another year and have eachother so things can't be bad. The Christmas decorations are up, the Christmas tree's lit and there are even some presents below it.
We did think we might get a White Christmas for the snow was lying thick outside until this morning but it's just come on pouring rain - annoying as I spent most of yesterday chipping the inch of ice of of our deck - which'll put the fireworks display at the harbour tonight in jeopardy if it continues but we'll still be in the Olde Ship with our friends this evening.
And talking of friends - we'll raise a glass to you all tonight and hope you all have a Merry Christmas and some loved ones to share it with - as the Auld Scots Toast goes, "Here's Tae Us, Wha's Like Us, Darned Few An' They're A' Died!
Have a Good One all!
Gerry
