Stuffed

and not just the turkey. I think I've eaten the world in the past week. It was mostly pretty tasty too. We had a marvellous Christmas. It was cold, but it's supposed to be (sorry NZ). We all trotted over to my brother and sister-in-laws. S-i-l did the most amazing dinner. Well delicious. It was washed down with a few bottles of Lindauer - real champagne, not like that French stuff! My Mum had us all in fits of laughter. She is such a hoot. I thought Dad and I were going to die from lack of breath at one point.
Well, hope you all had a lovely time.
Happy New Year to one and all.

Centerparcs

Taf and I met up with our Friends SB and Dickie for a long weekend at Centerparcs. It was as if the years since we've seen each other just melted away. Mind you, none of us are as active as we used to be. The first day we only managed to paint some pottery and have a swim. They have a brilliant pool with rapids. You get thrown around a bit, but it's a great laugh.
We also manged archery and badminton - quite enough for 3 days. The accommodation was great - set in woodland. We saw bunnies, dear and robins. Smashing.
By the way, I'm the craftiest of the 4 of us and my pottery was the worst!

Europe

I haven't blogged for a while as I've been busy. Mumsie and I went to Europe for a long weekend. We were supposed to be going to the Christmas markets. Bruges was nice until it poured down. The one in Valkenberg is in caves. The queues were so long we decided to skip it. So we had a lovely meal instead. We also went to Aachen which was jam-packed. Having said all that we did enjoy ourselves and bought a few souvenirs too. Europe is soooo pretty.

Barmy

That's what this country is becoming. It's political correctness gone wrong. Some shops are putting up 'Happy Holiday' signs instead of 'Happy Christmas'. BA just banned staff from wearing crosses. There's been a big hullabaloo about wearing a niqab. In defence of my country and most sane people of all races and religions, it's complete loonies coming up with these rules. The vast majority of people seem to be happy to live and let live. Why is it always the barking mad ones that have the say in these things?
We're not allowed religious pictures on our stamps, but can someone please tell me exactly what Santa is doing in these?

Torchwood

Just a few gratuitous pictures of where it is filmed. It was good last week.
