Christmas round up

Welcome to the cottage.



My parents joined us for Christmas and arrived on 24th. This is us above just before lunch - glasses of Prosecco for celebration.











After lunch we walked along the canal tow path - Poppy, (DD) came too and in fact all these photographs except the one above were taken with the new 'fancy pants' Nikon camera she received for her birthday.







I rather like this 'arty' shot of my mother and I, - we were deep in conversation, I seem to remember ....










Another good photograph from DD. Looking very wintery here in UK.











But at least the sun was shining. My parents above.












25th December. Many gifts under and around our little tree.









The Christmas table.









And the pudding...












This photo makes me smile. The pudding up in brandy flames and my father.

(Oh, and that wasn't my Christmas outfit dress, - just my favourite apron with fish on it - 'Old Trouts' apparently... hmmmm , and it was given to me by my ex-husband too!).




Happy days.

    What lovely pictures! I love the one of your parents holding hands, and also your dad's reaction to the flaming pudding.

    Mrs SE, of course, I miss you and can’t wait for you to be back in Melbourne again. The Cottage looks simply gorgeous – as do you and all the family!!! I love the red matching raincoats your parents are wearing – too cute. Miss P’s photos are superb – love “The Magic Pudding” snap too. I can’t believe you still have the ‘Old Trouts’ apron – you are a classic!!! Love to you and your family!!! S xxx
