Today was spent by the four of us driving in two cars to and from Gatwick airport where we collected Flo to join us for Christmas. This was a highly emotional event.
I have only once before flown from Gatwick. The story of how that came about is told in “Sign That, Dad”.
This evening we dined on Hordle Chinese Take Away fare. Everyone enjoyed the usual excellent food. Ian drank Leffe; Jackie and Becky water; Flo elderflower cordial; and I, Doom Bar.
Wishing you happy holidays.
And to you, Peggy. Many thanks
Brave man, taking on the roads today. I wrestled with three sets of Christmas lights and three willow reindeer this afternoon. That was bad enough..
Have a wonderful Christmas, all of you x
Many thanks, Jessica. Actually the roads were very easy. Your Christmas wishes reciprocated.

What a deliciously devious plot Sam and Jessica hatched. My this Christmas be full of laughter and love and joy and if Gatwick is involved which I guess it is may it be docile and compliant and the ensuing flight be nothing but simple. đ âď¸ đ
Very many thanks, Osyth
