'Twas the night before Christmas

We had a lovely Christmas Eve, including an outing to pick our own cherries; yesterday's awful 40C heat having given way to a lovely day in the mid 20s. After dinner James and Eleanor excitedly hung their stockings.

It's now very early on Christmas Day; Father Christmas has been (leaving behind a sprinkling of magic dust) and it's time for me to go to bed.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
