A sneaky...

...pre Christmas, Christmas dinner. As Aunty Gill is always busy making sure diners in her restaurant have a really good dinner on Christmas Day we always have Christmas Day and then Aunty Gill Christmas too.

Nice to spend time with Gill & Paul & Paddy today.

Nativity in the Church this morning where I had a shepherd, a wise man and two narrators. All the children of the Church did brilliantly. It's always a really nice service, followed by a fellowship tea with a visit from Santa for the children.

Then a wee surprise visit from my Aunty, my Mum's younger sister, my cousin and his wife. Really nice to see them all.

We then popped up to the cemetery to visit our Mum. Today would have been her 82nd birthday. Memories today of so many birthday teas we had with her.

On our way home we stopped off at Stirling Uni for a bracing walk round the loch to let the crazy Weimaraner , Golden Retriever and Rooster run off some steam. It was a tad chilly.

And so home to share this pre Christmas, Christmas dinner:-)
