A very merry christmas

To avoid all the work involved in preparing a Christmas Day meal we opted to have our family lunch at the local public house.

At the end of the week we attended the funeral for Katie’s step-grandfather, while my parents shielded our children from this somber event.

We received the updated plans for our proposed extension. They were now ready to be submitted to pre-planning where they would be reviewed by the council for their acceptability.

My father helped me add a gutter to the shed to collect rainwater in a water butt. He also helped move the remaining storage boxes from the garage to the workshop.
