Post 10

It's nearly Christmas! I'm feverently hoping for a sprinkling (or more) of snow for Christmas Day but fear I am hoping in vain. It's meant to be cold but clear. Andy and I are spending Christmas at home with just the two of us, lots of food, plenty of wine and several DVDs. It will be really nice just to relax as the past few months have been hectic.

We've had lots of going out, a couple of trips to Rotherham, a trip to Rome to see the mighty All Blacks in action plus I've had a weekend in Edinburgh for Lesley Hay's hen weekend. It was lots of fun. Thanks to Brits TV filming we've seen a few bands in action. Girls Aloud, Brian McFadden and Razorlight were all pretty average but the Lost Prophets and Kasabian were excellent. I also went to see the Beastie Boys with Ruth which was brilliant. Andy went to see England vs Aussie rugby at Twickenham recently. Sadly England lost but it was still a great game.

We've both been really busy the past few weeks with Christmas parties. This week has been a little quieter but we are out in town tomorrow for Christmas Eve drinks with Chris and Annette. London is lovely at Christmas time. The lights and decorations look beautiful and it's nice to be able to wrap up warm and eat and drink lots of Christmassy things. Plus there is cool stuff like ice skating. It's just like a Christmas card and I love it.

So, from both of us, lots of love and a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
