As I type this the wind is, again, truly shocking. On Wednesday the wind blew my kayak straight off of the roof; it's padlocked at one end and I'm pleased to say it wasn't badly damaged nor did it scratch MR, but the noise inside the boat was horrendous.
Just as G was about to do a bit of babysitting, Ian and Karen came passed and moored up on NB Tacet, so we were able to do a bit of catching up but G had to leave.
Thursday saw us off to Grantham to visit G's Mum and the boys and I walked through the park and along the River Witham
I should have taken the kayak
Before heading off to Grantham I knocked up a venison casserole and a lamb and apricot one to take with us for lunch; trying to get ahead of the game a bit - things didn't seem quite right when I sifted flour from the dredger onto the meat before browning it ......arrgh, G had filled the dredger with icing sugar!!!!!
I have 2 dozen mince pies, 2 dozen spicy sausage rolls and 1 dozen pork, leek, cream and apple mini pies. G's cooked the ham and that's us done now. Off to start peeling tatties and veg tomorrow.
So a very happy Christmas to you all and thanks for sticking with us
Happy Christmas to you too and a very happy New Year - hope you're tied up safely - I'm stuck in Wales for the next week and the weather here is atrociously wild!

I hope your Mum is doing OK. Take care xx
DeleteHappy Christmas you two, make sure your home is moored in shelter, and tied up well, as it is blowing an absolute hooley here, and more of the same is forecast over the next few days, love to both of you

Huh hmm. I have been asked to point out that that is not 'cat'. That is Daisy!
DeleteIt's extremely lively out here at the moment but we're nice and snug.
Have a great Christmas. Shall you pop by on your way back?

Hi All (and Daisy that include you too),
DeleteWe got back home at 03:45 this morning so we decided not to pop in for a morning cuppa at such an unsocial hour as bed was calling!! LOL
Hope you had a good Christmas and look forward to catching up with you in the new year :)
Kevin xx & Harry xx
Extremely glad that you gave us a miss then!
DeleteHappy New Year xx
Have a great Christmas and New Year guys all the best for 2014. xx
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you too. Keep up the socialising as you have become our new role models and we aim to keep up, if at all possible, before we leave
DeleteMerry Christmas xx
