    Glad you had a good Christmas. 

    We are getting so as we love a quiet Christmas just us and the dog.

    I doubt we will get that next year though. I suspect we will end up with the family at our new house now we will have room.

    We are still terrible for judging amounts of food. The freezer is full of leftovers 🤣🤣🤣
