This was the title of one of my first blog postings, so these are the best bits of the holiday for 2007/8.
It all started on 20th December when Alison finished work and we had our traditional Christmas visit to a local restaurant. This year we went to Rossini's in Wendover after an enjoyable visit last year. We were given a table next to the window overlooking the high street, which for us could not be bettered. And the meal was excellent.
On Saturday the 22nd, it was off to my see both my brothers and their wives, this year at John's place in Dorridge. It was good to catch up and we had a lovely lunch as usual. The next day Zoe, Peter and Hannah came over. I had only seen them a week before when Hannah had her third birthday. The highlight was bringing out an old Palitoy tree house that belonged to Zoe when she was the same age. Hannah loved it and her mother was a bit overcome as she did not know I still had it and had not seen it for over 20 years.
Christmas Day and Boxing Day were quiet. The next day we were off to Cheshire to see Alison's family. We had a very nice time, except for the drive up.
The weather was much nicer from the 22nd December than the previous two weeks that were cloudy and cold. So I was able to enjoy some very good walks including meeting Alison after her runs at Ashridge on 24th, and Marsworth on Boxing Day.
