Late to join the party

... but at last we, too, have had a sighting of nacreous cloud formations, So beautiful, so was thrilled to see them. Below the mother-of-pearl clouds, floated a shapely little cloud that is in my Extras.

I also enjoyed watching little Miss B playing hairdressers, creating a new hair-do for her mum. (I was drafted in to do a plait at the back, while a more colourful plait was clipped in place.) 

The young master was in great full-speed-crawl form, though disappeared for a sleep before we left. 

This evening the children will be meeting Father Christmas in their village market place, aboard a fire-engine. Each will receive a present, as will every child in the village.
