Christmas Eve with ice-cream

The weather is incredibly mild. We went out to an ice cream factory with a shop and small farm as well as a 45 foot high Paddington Bear. I was reliably informed the ice cream was yummy .
I have also had a chance to play a VR game for the first time in my life. I did not get far past the screaming and swearing stage before I  was killed. I have been promised another go before we go home. I am really lucky at times.
The hotel, now I have had a chance to look around,is great, old fashioned and very suitable for Christmas. Food tastie and staff friendly and very comfortable mattress.
I forgot my big camera so all pictures will be from my phone.
Just a footnote having eaten in the hotel tonight. It was heaving with people,happy and chatty with one exception. In a hotel where there was hardly any room to stand this man was complaining very loudly that he had booked table 7 and that was not where he had been seated. He demanded to see the manager but, in the 45 minutes before we left, no manager had appeared. This guy was not full of the Christmas sprit, but it made us laugh
