And in the middle of nowhere

Out in the countryside on the DNA path there was this!

And one poor local family were affected by the Christmas storms (on the road from Trumpington) - ouch

Christmas Day at Mingle Lane

We had a lovely lunch all together - made a change not to go to The Rose!  There was almost a disaster as I forgot to put the pudding on to steam but Keith came to the rescue with his camping stove in the shed! He did a fabulous goose!

Sorry about he blurry pics!

London at Christmas time!

Hohom

Had a fab couple of days in London - managed to track down where some family were living in 1841 - at what was Greenwich Hospital, formerly a palace but then  residence for pensioned off seamen. My lot lived in the mews but this was the dining hall where my butlering ancestor would probably have toiled

I walked back from Greenwich and, as ever, the lights of a London continue to awe!

Christmas markets

Decided to visit the Lincoln Christmas market - great fun! Including a Mediaeval market in the Bishops House

Pops is a monkey!

Keith enjoyed visiting mum in hospital because it meant he could play in the car park!
