over the festive holidays
We had a lovely time off for Christmas - - here are some of the things we got up to…
1. went for a walk up bredon hill in massive wind and cloud, and found the BIGGEST mole hill EVER!!! - as illustrated by jemima sat down next to it, also note how windy it was by her ears!
2. wrapped all of albi’s christmas presents and put them into his christmas sack on christmas eve and shed a little tear of happiness - it was a very exciting thing to do!
3.came last in the official 2011 christmas mince pie making competition - and this year there was an actual trophy!
[here’s tony, the ecstatic winner, with his winning mince pie and trophy!]
