Merry Christmas

Carcassonne fire show and torch walk December 4th:



Johns folks' table before we set up for the Christmas dinner.

(John) Yes we borrowed it from the Louvre for the occasion.  It's just gone midnight here and technically it's boxing day.  As usual I ate too much Christmas dinner so now I'm planning to go for a good long walk in the morning but I probably won't because there is lots of good stuff on the telly and there are still some brandy snaps left.  Besides I'll be seeing the whole family tomorrow and that should be fun.  The temperatures are set to hit -10 tonight and I have to admit the Brits are starting to take it all in their stride.  The media are still excited but normal people are just getting on with it.  Did you know CD cases make great ice scrapers?  Merry Christmas.

  1. hate to break it to you, john, but we are much warmer here in Brandon. I think we've been nearer to zero than -10 today. tell the folks you brought it with you from Canada - so they could have white christmas.

  2. Did you say that dining room's in the Louvre? I saw a mention of Warwick Castle and it looks very like the one I was privileged to have dinner in a little while back as part of a press jolly to promote their Christmas menu
