Thanks Dad for the flights- we really appreciate it. You didn't fancy staying in the Cornish rabbit hutch then..?

Unfortunately Gary we are not going to make it up for Christmas Day although we would have loved to sprung that one on you at the last minute! That was really kind of you to offer. And you managed to do it whilst retaining a calm exposure. Although would you have been so calm if we had agreed....? (depends on whether of course you would have had to do the cooking..!). But no, we have already promised our friends Gus and Kirsten that we will go to them for Christmas. They have two little boys that are infatuated with Craig, so we better not let them down.

Boxing Day eve though... beers at mum and dad's..? Lucy... we miss you all too. Not long til March. We'll do cocktails then. Can't wait! PS- Cade is looking tall in those photo's on your blog!
