We spent Christmas week in the fishing village of Staithes , it had long been our intention having had an association with the community there when Dave lived at Spindrift cottage for a couple of years. Many of the cottages had decorated their windows for the festive season and this had the effect of making the village more magical than ever. On the big day itself the whole village gathered in the Royal George for a joyful celebration pre lunch where we were lucky to greet many of our old friends, all of whom exclaimed upon how grown up the children were, remembering toddlers with buckets and spades on the beach! Even Chumdog enjoyed himself, especially after he found he could push open our bedroom door and avail himself of the pleasure of jumping on the bed, strictly off limits at home!
Happy New Year to you all, gardening will resume on the 6th Jan.
