quote:Are you having a sad, lonely Christmas??? I have had them before.

I’ve had a lovely Christmas, Kevin. Did you? – not too many weird cousins? Did you go to see the old guy you bought your Takemine from? I hate to think of anyone being lonely over Christmas.

My partner and I and our daughter stayed with my parents in Devon, looked up old friends, and, last night I drove down to Penzance, where I grew up, for an Old Girls’ school reunion.

“Come all ye old seadogs from Devon, Southampton, Penzance and Kinsale.”

We had a fantastic time, dancing to all those dreadful early ‘70’s disco songs. (We could remember all the steps – LOL!) There was even a reporter from the local paper which shows how quiet the place is in Winter. (Not quite up to our highest standard, when we hit the front page of the News of the World – a Brit. tabloid – for poisoning our governors with soap powder and a cannabis cake.) St. Trinian’s had nothing on us. Happy days!!
