Slow start then off to Sarah’s sisters to see their girls and drop off pressies. Back to NETTLETON where Lynton proceeded to embalm the goose and turkey. I missed the turkey auctions as I was laid up. Serious business. Much alcohol is consumed before bidding for your bird. 

  Boxing Day was spent at Sarah’s mums. A family tradition. 

Lynton and I were just overcome with excitement.

What a great Christmas spent with lovely friends.
