Mabel at Mallards to the Bears stepped out.

Meal at Cote, special 4 course with wine for each course.

We arrived back on 23rd, Reuben and Chelsie arrived same evening, few merry drinkies. Jacob and Lola came on Christmas Eve so we had Gammon Christmas dinner.

Up for stocking Christmas Day, Mabel had her request…a yoyo! WOn’t be so easily pleased I am sure in the future.

Late lunch at Mallards, Ed, Holly et al were supposed to be back from Antigua but stuck at airport and didn’t get back until 26th. Kieth, Cath substituted so quiet one. Lola picked up early and Jacob headed off to Mabel.

YOYO yeah!
