So what do people normally do on Christmas Day after such a wonderful Christmas Eve? Obvious really. They go for a walk. But this was a walk with a teensy difference. We took a picnic- yes honestly we did. After all we were a bit tired and needed a break, so Mona led us across the fields on a beautiful Christmas Day's wander. there wasn't a lot of snow but we had a great time, brushed away the cobwebs and enjoyed the fresh air.

The views across the valley were very pretty and we were all happy to make a halt to discover the joys of the picnic basket. First up, of course, was that staple, the brandy. I have to say there were a few who actually declined this but I forced myself! Then to the serious business of eating. Cutlets, tomatoes, bread, cake ... it was just terrific and we didn't mind that the tea and coffee had gone a tad chilly.
We had a short day because we wanted to get back, have a rest, get cleaned up in time for the Renaissance group who were to sing for us before dinner. Well! They were just amazing. They sang a variet

And yes- the ususal amazing dinner was on offer - but tonight was an early night as we knew that tomorrow was to be a bit more energetic - tobogganing for all!
So we did repair to bed early - at least early for us!
