Merry Christmas!

Since our kitchen installation in 2008, two ceiling lights have remained as bare bulbs glaring away on electrician's wires. Recently, in a fit of bravura, I promised Henny there'd be proper light fittings up by Christmas. They arrived just in the nick of time.

We've had a superb run-up to Christmas. We've sung carols, drunk mulled wine, played games, laughed ourselves silly, received sweet gifts and dined gloriously. Thank you one and all for a great week. To those further afield, we wish you the happiest of holidays. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good light.
