This is the first Christmas that the Smudgelet and I have spent as a twosome. No family, no visitors, no eldest son, just my fantastic 12-year-old and me... oh, and ten hamsters and one cat and a rather plump turkey. It was not the original plan - my brother was coming down from Scotland to stay but has been somewhat hindered by the fact that he needs a ski-lift installed on his drive. In fact we debated whether he could make it all the way here from Scotland sitting on a tea tray and using his walking poles as ski poles to help turn corners. (It's all downhill from Scotland, isn't it?). So, we're going for multiple Christmases. My sister visited either side of it, and my brother is coming for a second Christmas at the end of January/beginning of February. So.. it's just the Smudgelet and me. Rather nice, really. (And I don't need to feel guilty about not tidying my bedroom!)
