Christmas Day















This time last year we sat on the cliff tops by the Atlantic eating crackers and salsa for lunch! We were in Lanzerote and had been rough tracking on the bikes along the volcanoes by the cliffs and beaches near Papgayo.

This year was a return to more traditional matters, which seemed a bit odd to be here for Christmas without Mr Kettle! We both missed him!!
We had a mini-platter in his absence, with all the traditional trimmings of turkey and stuffing, with lots of various veggies. Seems we were too busy doing the cooking or eating it all to take any snaps, so you'll have to make do with these photos of our tree and other decorations!

We hope you all had a very MERRY Christmas, and wish all our family and friends a very Happy New Year.

Hi Sue,your decorations look very nice,made mine look a bit less pretty. We went to Weymouth this morning it was beautiful walked on the beach.It was sunny the sky was blue and you wonder why people put up with going abroad what with snow and strikes.Then we went into Wetherspoons for a coffee, came out and it was hard to believe it was grey and pouring down.Back here in Dorchester its still sunny. Had a supper day at your sisters yesterday the nomal good food and drink.Hope Stoke beat Manchester to day.Lots of love to you both L M xxxxx

Suze...Love your photographs of the tree and the decorations with also the presents under the tree. It all looked so very beautiful. Wishing you better health and lots of purple sprinkles being sent your way with giggles inside them and only good things should come your way. Take care - RAGS (Elaine) x
