We’ve had a fantastic time so far today - the children got up about 7am and we sent the girls in to wake Adam up (he’s camping in the garden in a tent huge enough for a family of 20) and then we set about opening the presents under the tree. The children were all very, very lucky with their presents and will be struggling to get them all in their cases to come home again!
The adults all did very well, Santa was kind to us all, and we’re now waiting for the pork joint to finish cooking so we can sit down to lunch. Breakfast was scotch pancakes (with whipped cream and bananas for me) and a huge mug of tea. Lunch will be various meats and a salad and then the grog log (gollywog shapped chocolate biscuits - think a cross between rich tea texture and ginger snaps texture - briefly soaked in sherry and layed up with whipped cream then coated in grated chocolate) will be served.
It’s a bit damp here today and the temp in the lounge is 23.5C (with the air con on) and outside is about 29/30C.
Hope you all have a wonderful day and the Santa is as kind to you as he was to us.
Fiona, Hope, Jonathon, Eloise and Isabelle
