This year, Mum and I lived under an umbrella of "different." Christmas morning, when supposed to be in church at 9:30 to ring bells, Mum and I only woke up at 9:25. Then after coming home from church, we both had stollen and juice for breakfast then had a long nap throughout the afternoon. For dinner we had a roast of beef instead of turkey, and Mum made our very own Christmas pud for dessert. On Boxing day, we had the Cliftons and Gill and Sara round for dinner and ringing of handbells. Mum and I even went so far as to buy a whole Scottish salmon and cook it in the dishwasher!!
It was interesting actually having Christmas on Christmas day. Mum and I opened presents and stockings on the 25th which is never been possible as we've always been in church all day on the 25th. It all went as well as both Mum and I could have hoped. And there were lots of leftovers to enjoy :)

Just finished reading a TLS article on Vikram Seth, now living in George' Herbert's old Rectory...and reading the poems he has written in that setting, "after" Herbert's manner...and SO MUCH WISHING I could talk them over with your Dad.
