It's been a busy, damp but real family Christmas ...

Only two days left of 2012!

The weather has been mild but damp (Met Office officially confirmed that 2012 is the wetest on record). Nicky & I were laid up with Montesuma's Carlisle's revenge; whilst Jamie has been busy juggling his pizza delivery job (for coins) with his three week work experience at BBC Radio Cumbria (which he's really enjoying) Despite this we've had a lots of precious family time together, after mad last minute preparations...

why does wrapping paper have it's own mind?

Frantic cake icing - almond & royal

But we got there...

 & dinner was more or less on time...
