Christmas in Essex

We came, we saw, we ate and drank more or less continuously. We met Santa on the little train at Audley End, we exchanged gifts, we played in the park. We saw Thumbelina at the Junction in Cambridge, we went running, we took Matty the dog for a walk. All very jolly and festive.

Changing Rooms

We've been in this house over 5 years, so it was time to give Louis' room a bit of a makeover. We took out the big built-in wardrobe, gave it a lick of paint and a new carpet, moved the internet kit to the loft, and (last but by no means least) built up some shiny new IKEA furniture. Seems a shame to move all his stuff back in, it makes the place look so untidy... We also went to Pizza Express to say Merry Christmas to Paula & Dave before heading off to Essex for Crimbletide.

Happy Birthday to the BT Choir

It's been almost exactly a year since we started the choir at work, and as luck would have it we had a gig at the Scottish Parliament (something about MSPs and BT CSR blah blah blah) so we all donned the black and red (and the antlers) to entertain the troops. It was fine. Alex didn't turn up. Afterwards, we went to Hanam's, a rather splendid middle-eastern restaurant nearby(ish) and "entertained" the diners by singing over dinner. It was excruciating but brilliant.

Sometimes what you're looking for is right on your doorstep. We went for a wander in Davidsons Mains Park, just a short stroll through the woods but we found lots to explore - including a Louis-sized hollow stump - and plenty of leaves to get buried in. See if you can spot the eye! Also the library, a roulade and a funny hat.
