Christmas catch up

The above photo summed up yesterday's Christmas at my sister's house. Flashy, lively and fun. You can't quite tell from the action shot, but my brother-in-law is marching into the dining room with a flaming Christmas pudding in his hands!
The family all met up with good humour and a hundred weight of gifts, wrapping paper and good ideas. My two sisters and their husbands,my brother and his wife, Nephew Chris (below) and his partner Becca, Nephew Jon and his gran Pat and of course Chris and I made up the numbers, and of course the food, wine and company was enjoyed by all.

Below my brother Andrew ( the only musical one in the family) giving an impromptu guitar solo as some of the family (second photo below) massacred a Rolling Stone musical medley

Anyhow I had to make my apologies and leave the game playing to go to work at 9.pm ( as a family we never seem to succumb to TV watching over Christmas, as we prefer to play games and perform individualised "turns", This year a selection of quizzes. poems,magic tricks and an energetic dance game was the order of the day......)

Work was quiet, and to be honest I didn't really need to have gone in...but I showed my face and did the shift, though this morning I was shattered and just a little jaded.

This morning I moved the baby turkeys into Boris' enclosure to get them all used to each other and quite benignly the big guy ambled over to give the youngsters the once over.

Jessop- below pic- ( the hen with the prolapse!) has been put back into the field and although she is not eating too well and still has a rather grubby bum,she looks perky enough. I am guardedly hopeful that she may pull through.

Tonight My Aunt is coming around for supper, and I think we will then indulge in the typical "British" tradition of vegging out in front of the tv!
