This cheeky chap has now been hung on the tree. I had to do the honours on my own this year as neither Conventboy is around this weekend. It has always been such a family event so I felt a little deflated.

It is Conventboy1's birthday today but sadly he has spent most of the day sorting out his car which broke down in a town centre carpark. He finally got the AA to tow it to the garage where he bought it as it is still under warranty. But that is 30 miles away and he has to get to work on Monday morning.

I have included an extra to show why I fret so much when Conventboy1 is away. I know its cheating a little as I didn't take it but I do have permission of the person who did to post.
