Breakfast with Santa at the Thatch. They've got new owners in and they really seem to be making an effort. The father Christmas was awesome and spent time chatting to each child and making making them laugh. Tobes was trying his best to be too cool to sit on Santas knee but Santa was having none of it and pulled him onto his knee telling him to stop being so grumpy. Some of the kids told Santa they were leaving milk out for him and he made it clear he was not happy about that. Santa always gets whisky at our house so he said he was coming to us first.

Off to Shropshire now for the night for a pre -christmas dinner with family. Very tired. Ready to slow down now!

Extras of pie face with the cousins. Flora cleaned up the floor afterwards!
