- We went carol singing today around the north part of Cockermouth. I've not been round the streets singing carols for years! It was good fun (although very cold!) and it was lovely how many local people seemed to enjoy joining in.
- We served mulled wine and hot chocolate from the back of Dave's van, with mince pies galore, and had a great time. The people I spoke to all want us to come back next year.
- One of the stops was outside the house of Andrew's former colleague, who we see from time to time. I'm hoping we can keep some stronger links going now...
Eating lots and having fun:
- Yesterday was my department's Christmas meal at our guest house. The food was delicious (as usual) and we played some silly games. Lots of fun, and my voice was going by the end
- Today, our department and the Finance area went out for lunch. I had the slow-cooked leg of lamb, and it was just as good as last time... the meat was so tender and just fell off the bone (yum!)
I've also heard from a close friend I've feared I was losing touch with - it felt good to start catching up again, and begin making plans for getting together soon.
