New Years Eve 2017

Megs tripped off to Leeds to spend a quiet evening with Abbie -

we had a lovely supper at Judianne's with Ian and Linda -

followed by board games and watching  the fireworks from London.

 

 

Here's to a calmer 2018!

 

 

 

New Year's Eve Eve - Guys and Dolls

Our usual New Year's Eve treat had to come a day early this year - no Sunday evening performance.

So instead wee had a Saturday night at the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre -

watching a really brilliant production of "Guys and Dolls"

 

 

Fun and Games with Katharine

Jonathan, Karen and Katharine came over to stay at Gma's and Gpa's for a few days from the 27th

 

Sadly Gpa was ill for virtually their whole visit -

but the rest of us went to the park, played lots of games and had a lovely tea out at the local Carvery

 

 

 

 

Wintery Walk

We didn't have thick snow like much of the country -

but the park looked pretty enough with the little bit that fell here.

 

 

Boxing Day at Martin Mere - 2017

The now traditional Boxing Day trip to Martine Mere -

 

Megs cam along for a stroll and some serious book time -

 

Al too lots of photos as usual -

 

I gloried in the light and air -

 

And Ben stayed in bed!

Christmas Day 2017

After the midnight service - we all fell into bed with promises that NO-ONE was to get up until 8am!

 

(Not having littlies at home can be a very good thing)

 

We had a sedate present opening time -

 

Ben then set up his own Nintendo Switch and Megs went back to bed!

 

We had to get to Church earlier than usual as I was leading the worship with Linda -

the service went so well - the atmosphere was amazing.

 

I took a photo of the congregation that we shared on Facebook -

then afterwards there was the usual present opening time and we took some family selfies.

 

Lunch was a quiet affair with Gma and Gpa -

and the rest of the day was napping, watching the queen and Dr Who on TV and playing card games.

 

Pretty perfect as Christmas Days go :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas Eve 2017

Christmas Eve fell on a Sunday - so extra Church in the morning.

 

I sang in the choir as we performed "All is Well" in the 10.30 service -

 

Then at 4pm Linda and I led the Christingle service.

 

After a quiet evening we were all back at Church again for an agape feast at midnight -

 

Yea Lord we greet thee!
