Mary and Alan are staying with us in London this year, after having spent Christmas in Newmarket for the past 35 years.
They arrived on Christmas Eve and we had a nice but simple dinner - pasta with cabbage, pine nuts and bacon, and of course plenty of drinks (Port and Lemonade for Mary and me, and various Ale for Brad and Alan).
We enjoyed Catherine Tate’s Christmas Special. Brad and I exchanged our first present at mid-night. I am already reading the photography book today and Brad is yet to try his Hugo Boss stainless stell shoe horn.
We didn’t get up until 10am on Christmas Day and we started opening our presents before noon. Brad got me a Crumpler photo bag - Bunny Man 002. The leather gloves I got him was a perfect fit - size 10 hands are huge!
Mary and Brad are busy cooking Christmas lunch now and I should better give them a hand soon.
