Cute baby, daft dog

The dog is clearly trying to compete with with Ivy in the winning stakes.  But not quite making it.   They arrived early from Gloucestershire where they’d been with their Dad followed by Rory and Alice by lunchtime.  It was lovely to have everyone here.  

Mum came over for a Christmas Eve dinner and we exchanged a few presents as R and A are moving on in the next stage of their epic round trip.  We ate an Italian boned and rolled chicken dish and a big vegan roll wrapped in filo that R helped me wrestle into shape.  

We were going to play a game but everyone was a bit shattered, had a nice chat alone with R while doing the washing up.
