Dearie me, I've decided that Christmas is just unbloggable.  I can't seem to do all the stuff required, and take photos and write posts about it as well.  So you'll have to take my word for it that we had many festive gatherings and meals, there was much laughter and eating and drinking and present giving, and we all recovered nicely from the excesses.  It was a good time, with a whirlwind visit from DD Seonaid and her partner Hayden, and the fun of great-neice Isobel's first Christmas.  The weather has been wonderful, not cool, but not blisteringly hot either. 

This time between Christmas and New Year is a nice, quiet interlude, where there isn't much mail at work, and all the big occasions are over.  We have one more family gathering today, and that will be it; time to move on with 2015.  I'm not ready to be writing that date yet!
