Family Christmas

Christmas Eve and the customary Goring Torchlight Procession. Jenny and I have been going for 11 years now. This year Sarah and James brought Jim and Cynthia (James' Mum and Dad) and John and Ruth invited Ian and Laura (Ruth's little sister and her partner) and some other friends so it was a great night. By the way my photo's all came out black so I've appropriated this photo from another blog which belongs to an artist and author called Sarah Laurence. I urge you to look at her blog and web site.

THEN PRESENT OPENING






and the traditional walk to feed the ducks at Goring Lock
Other stuff? Jenny and I went, with the staff from work, to Jongleurs in Oxford. John,Pat,Jean and I saw Ian Mckellen's King Lear (great night) whilst Ruth and Jenny preferred to stay at home.

Oh yes my future son in law (James aka The Bean)


I find this quite disturbing!!!!















We all went to see 'Billy Elliot' (again) on the 28th and went with Sue and Andy to 'Mamma Mia'. Oh yes, I was given an iPod, by Sarah, more of that later.
