Marc & Heather & Elise came over
from Sweden and stayed with us for a few days over the Christmas/New Year period
whilst they visited friends and family. We kept them busy but managed to get
out to play in the park and to feed carrots to the donkeys. Another
semi-regular event is a walk and talk with friends and colleagues old and new. This
time we were at Dinton Pastures Country Park near Reading where we walked
around the ponds together (Marc played with Elise in the fabulous play area) and
later we went on to have a meal at a pub called the Jolly Farmers in Hurst.
New Year’s Eve was spent at home with
Whittenburys and Harrison-Dinniss clans. We had a convivial time eating a
lovely meal, chatting and consuming a few drinks that culminated in watching Jools Holland’s Hootenanny.
On New Year’s Day, we went for a walk in
Banstead Woods where they have a new Narnia Trail (a wood carving artist has
created large sculptures out of dead trees, and other wood products, that represent
things from the children’s books). We went on over the muddy and slippery paths
(unfortunately Marc had a couple of tumbles) until we got to the Ramblers Rest
where we recovered.
