A little help

from the boys to clean the house, although I must remember that a ten year old's version of 'spotless' isn't quite mine. But they did me proud, enjoyed the company, and then went nicely to bed. They are not quite the 'seen but not heard' type of boy, but not Just Williams either.

And then a little help from some lovely friends to polish a few of these off and enjoy a winter's evening, with tales of bears in Alaska to thrill us. It has felt such a luxury to be able to plan the day myself for once. No obligations, just preparing food to share with friends and spending time with the people I love.
