Merry Boxing Day dear Reader!!
Soooo, all over for another year then....we spent yesterday with the general theme surrounding indulgence.....earlydoors my lovely Lady and I exchanged our gifts and as usual after promising each other we won't go overboard each year, we both did again, lol Then sadly, we went our own ways, me to my family, her to her sister's place. One day I hope we shall be able to share these special times together....
When I got to my mother's I spent the next 4 hours preparing and cooking the festive meal and we sat down at 3.20pm to eat. All that time spent preparing and cooking and then in the space of about 15 minutes everyone was totally stuffed full of turkey and all the trimmings and just about managing to roll away from the table, almost crawling quite bloated into the lounge to watch the Christmas TV offering. I think we stayed on ITV until Eastenders but then recorded Downton (ITV) to watch afterwards.
All in all a lovely day was had by all, relaxed happy, jovial times, no pressure, no rows just times for good memories to be laid down within the confines of our minds.....
Today is Boxing Day, the day after the event and we were scheduled to go and see the Morris Men dancing in Moulton (a nearby local village) as is our family tradition but shortly before setting off I decided that my foot would be adversely affected by all the standing around and then we had a call from one of the clan to say that my eldest son and family would not be able to make it after all due to a serious accident taking place just outside their house where they had to get an air ambulance to pick the poor person up who sustained open fractures after being knocked off his bike by a car at the junction. My daughter-in-law by all accounts is very shaken up. They have had to give statements to the police about it all and we are waiting for them to get here so that we can again eat the traditional Boxing Day meal.
Here we go again dear Reader, here we go again........
