We've had yet another wet day. Peter went off rowing, not so early as the other day so he didn't get back until lunchtime. Most of the household went off for a wet walk along the beach at Saunton while I stayed home mainly working in the kitchen. I also discovered that one of out 3 hens had died, most probably from old age as we have had them for a few years. I spent some time working in the stream sorting out the flow of the water and clearing the start of a dam/bridge that must have been built by Jack.
When the wet walkers returned and had dried out we had lunch and then in the afternoon we looked at Sam, Kate & Alex's photos from their recent holiday to Rome and Pompeii. Both Peter and Sam are interested in Romas history so every ruin and arch was knowledgeably discussed as they appeared on the TV screen.
Back to cooking in the kitchen; sausages, red cabbage, potatoes, sprouts, parsnips & gravy followed by Christmas cake (again) and this cute gingerbread house which Vytas and Sally had brought along.
After supper we all played a game of charades and then some of us watched a film. Right now we are all doing our own thing and Sam and Vytas are playing a scaled down game of 40K with much rolling of dice and checking of the rule book. As it is past midnight I should really be heading off to bed as these late nights are getting me into bad habits.
