So finally it relents, for another year at least. Christmas hangs its brand new winter coat (bought part in cash, part in vouchers, and topped up with some nectar points) on the back of the door and retires inside to eat Dundee cake by the fire.
I had a wonderful Christmas this year. Knowing I was not making the trip to see father in Djibouti, George invited me to visit his aunt in Rutland where we enjoyed a feast of goose, parsnips and seasonal vegetables. Conversation flowed as quickly as the Schloer and we ended the afternoon with a trip to the local Morrisons to recycle our Christmas wrapping. George suggested that next year we don’t bother with wrapping, but like so many great ideas, that will be easier said than done.
I am recuperating now until the new year, at which point I will be tentatively launching my own brand of fun on the world! You can read more about my project below and rest assured I will provide full rules, regulations and appendices on the subject before the year is out!
Yours,
Herbert Rumbelow
PS. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank George for the lovely picture of the moon and crab cakes.
