Anticipation

We had a walk around the lake at Arrow Valley park at Redditch with Granny Granny and Bob, and then had a lovely hot chocolate - except Alexander's didn't have any cream on it! He made a right fuss until the lady provided him with some.

I hold myself responsible for his warped view of the world. I don't remember going to a café at all in my childhood apart from the embarrassing occasion in Bruges when we wanted to spend all our Belgian money but got the exchange rate wrong....

Anyway it took his mind off the hundreds of presents he was expecting (that one's definitely the fault of nursery...) until it was time for Auntie Eva's trifle and feeding the reindeers.
