Christmas musings

Well it's all over for another year!

Here are some of my highlights of Christmas 2007.

Going to Somerset (where we stayed at my Sisters) took ages although traffic was good..why?

Planned to stop at services on A36 and have Burger King, but when we arrived it's now a travel chef...plan B Subway in Wells (where there is no Burger King or McDonalds parents please note)

Went to candlelight Carol service at Rowberrow parish church Christmas Eve. Small church, lots of people, standing room only. Very Vicar of Dibley. Question...why when church attendances are falling does a church allow it's "welcoming" door steward to behave like an East German border guard circa 1958. She was unbelievable! Good service though.

Children don't understand that food doesn't cook itself. Presents however change everybodies mood.

As we started Christmas dinner, my sisters new stereo (purchased by her kind brother, she only has the one!) played Olivers Army by Elvis Costello, not very seasonal, but kicked in with Fairytale of New York for Christmas Pud.

Alexander Armstrong seems to have taken over the BBC, he was even in "To the manor Born".

Doctor Who was great and not just 'cos of Kylie.

Finally...Happy New Year.
