Christmas has come and gone very quickly as per usual. We had our family Christmas at mum and dads where we all met up - it was touch and go because of the snow whether we would all get there but we did. We opened our pressies - and I particularly liked my Beatles mug stands bbok and of course Humphrey BOgart films! After this I drove home and made it into the midnight service at St Mary's Thornbury - it seemed all the great and the good were in there from the castle. The next day I spent at work which was altogether quie a pleasant atmosphere.
The following week we met up at Roses house to plan my birthday bash and then had a good play through with the quartet.
On the Tuesday before I travelled down to meet Lee and family and we all had a good look at the brand new Weston Peir and had our traditional fish and chip meal in the cafe on the end. The tide was actually in too.
Following sat having ignored the New Years eve I met up with Vicki and some of her friends and we went for a walk at Westonbirt taking Jacko her mums dog with us. Holly helped walk Jacko and I had a large walking stick and enjoyed seeing the woods at a slightly different time of year.
Afterwards we drove home and went to Vickies house for new years tea which was great.
Next day I popped down town to buy a money pot with Vickies voucher and then went on a car journey over to Bath. I stopped at Woolley a small village on the hillside slopes near Bath - a very steep coombe with very narrow track roads. The church here is a small Georgian thing which looks as though it has been lifted from a Jane Austen Novel and has a grave to somebody who sailed and charted the west coast of America. A tiny place and the road hardly wide enough to take my car and extremely steep.
I then drove on to the flat but very high cotwold plains and into Wiltshire through to Grittleton and Leigh Delamere.
