We had a fine Christmas at home this year. Rebecca's parents and sister visited for a week either side of Christmas Day. On Christmas Eve while we were all asleep Santa Claus delivered some presents, decorated the house and tree and helped himself to some mince pie and milk. Rudolph had some parsnip. The boys were overwhelmed with gifts the next morning and were a bit dazed by it all by lunchtime. A superb Christmas dinner was served up by Rebecca, her mum and sister.


To work it off, on St. Stephen's Day we went for a walk along the coast between Durdle Door and Ringstead.

We stumbled upon a Slow Worm or Adder during the walk (not sure which).


On the Saturday before New Years our visitors left for home. Afterwards myself and the boys went on a muddy forest adventure. We built a den, fried up some breakfast over our campfire, did a bit of climbing, hide & seek and made a swing from a tree.
