On Monday we heard the very sad news that Carolyn Webb had died. James popped round with some ham for us to try and to print off the Canadian crossword. M went out for lunch with Mandy and Fiona. I did a ride out to Maker Space with Kelvin and Stuart. Amy popped round with more ham on Tuesday morning as I ate most of the previous batch. Spent most of the day doing Christmas prep. On Cristmas Eve we picked Madeline and Owen up from nursery. Warren and Mary Ellen came round for tea. James and Amy picked the kids up and then the grandparents went to Derek and Steve's party.On Christmas Day we went over to no 81.
On Boxing Day we all went to the Nature Discovery Centre in Thatcham to stretch our legs. Had a swifty in The Rowbarge on the way back. On Christmas Eve I'd been chatting to Steve from round the corner and he told me he had a friend who had gone into a home and that he had a lot of musical equipment that needed to be disposed of. This included a dobro that he said I could have and he brought it round on Saturday.
It's one that is designed to be played on the lap. Sounds great. SET arrived about 7pm. I stayed up too late with Tom. On Sunday JAMO came over and we had an Ounsley family Christmas. Everyone stayed over.
This was our present to Edith.
The young uns met up with Josh and Vic in Caversham for a walk to Loddon Brewery on Monday. After we all went to see the Christmas lights in The Forbury followed by Pizza Express.
On Tuesday we took Edith over to no 81 for a few hours.
In the evening Tom and Sally went over to Josh and Vics. They went back on Wednesday. We had pizzas at no 81 and stayed over. We looked after the kids on New Year's Day as James and Amy went up to London to meet the gang for lunch. We took them into town on the bus then walked back to ours and got the bus back to theirs. Friday was a lazy day. On Saturday we took Madeline to see Beauty And The Beast at The Hexagon.
M went on the society walk on Sunday. I went to Mark and Cathy's down the street for champagne and sausage sandwiches before going to watch URZ beat Stockport 1 0. A great end to the festive season.
