Monday and another week begins

Morning readers,

Good weekend? For us it was another weekend of festivities with a brunch with my two oldest friends and a Secret Santa exchange ... not that it's too much of a secret when there are only three participants! In the evening it was a festive meal with our friends, from Thatcham, we picked a venue approximately half way. We've eaten here before and enjoyed a great evening, so nice to catch up over dinner, and to exchange cards and gifts.  One of the surrogate family stopped by, with the lovely Riddick, for a catch up too - which was nice.

I've a make to share with you today .....
