We spent the morning packing our bags, and the presents and making sure the animals were sorted for the weekend – during which time the new fencing unexpectedly arrived, and, in the nick of time the ‘unofficial’ wedding album arrived too. Emma headed off to the work secret santa event and I had some lunch and then we were off for the long drive down to the New Forest for Christmas. The sun was setting as we arrived…
…just in time for Christmas cake, a Christmas tree present too, and to help my nephews put out reindeer food and to leave something for Santa by the fire…
Addendum: Ronnie feigned illness in advance of our departure by not eating anything for all of yesterday and this morning, so we decided to take him with us. Immediately upon installing ourselves in our room in Postbox Cottage he purred like he had never purred before and wolfed down a bowlful of food. Have we been taken for a ride…?
