So that’s it for another year, boo! But what an awesome Christmas, we visited the Barty’s on the weekend before the big day and a chance to catch-up and chill.

Christmas Eve saw the Folks join us at the Star for a drink or seven and then off to wait for the big fella with the rather full sack.

Christmas Day I had to wait from 4am for everyone to get up some 4 hours later. Prezzies over, on then for a slap up turkey dinner.

All told a rather pleasant and relaxing time.

Waiting for the next one now

And one of my gifts from the Mrs was a Survivalist fire starter kit, so what better way to use it than get a roaring fire going

And we have now christened to Log Cabin with its own sign

Next stop New Years Eve when we will have The Caddies and The Treasure-Smiths joining us for a 5 course taster meal at the Star (and no doubt falling down liquid). Mr Caddie is even bringing some of his monster fireworks to set off in the field (full precautions will be taken and supervision by suitably trained adults).

Have a Happy New Year all and remember, only 362 days to Christmas!
