I forgot to mention in comment 30 that my husband and two sons went to a football match in the afternoon while I slaved over a stove and cooked dinner for 16. I think I showed plenty of goodwill, and it was not done grudgingly.

Sim-O, you are absolutely right. This was certainly tested to the limit. My family turned up 1 3/4 hours late for dinner due to car problems and didn’t even phone me, but I didn’t bat an eyelid when they finally arrived and managed to serve two sittings of hot dinners to my family and neighbours.

and showing some tolerance.
Just ’some tolerance’? What happened to goodwill to all men?

Ellee – so glad you and yours had a lovely day and I hope all others enjoyed Christmas too, I always look on Christmas as the birth of new hope. I’ve been showing my father Rebecca’s pics and was pleased to see you’ve been having fun with your camera too – I hope your tooth hasn’t been giving you too much trouble. Dad has promised me a play with his new Nikon and I found the link to the swan feeding most interesting. Sounds like a great afternoon at the wildfowl trust

Christmas Day was lovely, though sadly no time for church in the morning because my in-laws turned up unexpectedly with a shiny new bike for David. We went to my sister’s house in Wisbech and her home was decorated so beautifully, she was a perfect hostess.

Today it is my turn, I shall be cooking for everyone, at least 16. I’ve already prepared my pigs in blankets. We shall be having a large loin of pork and leg of lamb as a change from turkey. I know I shall look forward to a rest tomorrow, and my bird watching in the afternoon at the Welney Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.

That sounds a bit scary Ellee. Hope it went well. We had a quiet time in our new house.
