I saw three ships come sailing in...

Mum and Dad arrived today for the festivities. Managed to miss the afternoon boat, too busy having coffee and cake... tutt, you'd never find me doing that! So instead of being here mid afternoon they didn't arrive until after 9pm.

Campbell and I passed the time making mincemeat (for the mince pies) and singing carols in the kitchen. The other 2 made their point they couldn't hear the telly by closing all the doors between them and us.

We didn't care, we added a vast quantity of whisky to the mincemeat, sang louder and took very blurry photos.

Worryingly Campbell seamed to like the smell of whisky and spent a lot of time inhaling the fumes... I had hidden the bottle by this point.
