Get ready to sing along

Kick it off, throw it in, have a little scrimmage,
Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die;
On the ball, City, never mind the danger,
Steady on, now's your chance,
Hurrah! We've scored a goal.
City!, City!, City!

Christmas has come - and gone.
We had a proper "Norfolk" few days.
23rd December - went on seal watch down towards Horsey/Waxham followed by chips and beer as we made our way home in the rain.
Christmas Eve - last minute shop for fresh bits and bobs in Sheringham. Jenny did a charity bag-pack at Tesco's in Aylsham before going to work at The Roman Camp and the rest of us met up with Grandad and Sue for lunch in The King's Head in Holt. Home in time for Carols from Kings and settle in for Christmas. Did manage a quick pint in Sheringham as Jenny became desperate for a kebab.


Christmas Day, girls awake early but didn't get too excited till about 7:00am. Present opening fest ensued. Had a good visit to Granny's before she went for what turned out to be a really good lunch. Home to get on with our "lunch" and await Jim to arrive. Nice relaxing time with games and nibbles and drinks till we sat at about 5:00pm for a turkey and ham roast. Jim had brought a couple of top wines which helped wash everything down. Managed to stave off the telly till mid evening but was happy to snooze and flick around the channels till bed time. Oh yes - even managed a game of basketball!









Boxing Day - had to "do the dip".It was much warmer than usual down on Cromer beach though the sea was very cold. Anne (80) was my swim partner - brave old bird.  Met up with an old friend of Billy's (Barney) - the links are far too congruous to explain and detail without writing a book about it. The rest of the day was spent with my brothers at Dad's house in Langham. Super food, games, pressies, a walk, more food and a slide show.

This time next week........

School term is over till next year. Muggins here is working for most of next week - except Friday, oh and Tuesday when I meet up with my work colleagues for a festive beer or 4 in Norwich.

The weather has turned rather seasonal - quite a hefty snow shower today after granny had gone home. Not settling though and it looks like it's going to be a boring mild christmas.
DG and I did get into the christmas spirit with a visit to Felbrigg to sing carols

 Rosie went to the panto in Shezza today and Jenny had to work (tee hee)

Most of the serious shopping has been concluded! Just bits and bobs and fresh food to get so watch out Morrisons later this week

Footie results pretty good this weekend - Hatters win on their travels to places I've never heard of (again) well done Jimbo for going and the super fairy Canaries did alright at Everton - Super Grant Holt Norwich's No9

4th December

Lamb in the oven!

4:30 and it's very dark. And cold. And raining (unusually)
Jenny is doing homework while listening to music, texting, tweeting etc. Don't know how she does it.
DG and Rosie are looking at Christmas trees at a tree fest in Fakenham with the twins of old Felbrigg.
I have been busy running around as usual - Jenny to netball, sweeping up leaves, fixing the flat tyre on the ride-on, booking lunch at The Kings Head Holt on Christmas Eve (bonus), visit mum, quick bike ride and prep up the roast supper. All in all, a jolly good day.
December is starting to take shape with a few socials coming onto the calendar. The main school events have come and gone already - Christingle service (excellent) and Christmas Fayre.
Christmas? I'm ready (I think)
