A very Happy Christmas to all of our family across the globe! From Canada and the U.S. in the West, to the Philippines in the East, and in Yorkshire, Northamptonshire, London and Somerset, as well as those joining us here.
We’ve had presents
Chantal cooked us an excellent dinner, when we were joined by my Dad and Chantal’s Mum
And we walked off at least some of the calories with a walk up Croft Hill
Matthew joined us later in the afternoon. The girls are in bed, the others are watching a very noisy Eastenders, and I am enjoying some peace and quiet.
We hope that you are having a wonderful Christmas.






Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
