Here is some Christmas spirit! This is a recent picture (taken last weekend by a friend of ours, Aaron). We had a lovely lunch with friends (Dawn, Aaron, and little Violet, Clare and Jen) a The Fishes Pub. They gave us all Santa Hats - William loved all the comments that he received when he put his on.
Auntie Alice arrived safely in Oxford this morning, after a long journey. She and William met for the first time, and had fun playing together. Auntie Alice helped William add windows with curtains to the 'house' he has, which is made from cardboard boxes.
Here are some pics, the first one must have been taken in the Summer, as it is of William and I in the Botanic Gardens at Oxford. All three of us when for a picnic there one day. William was in a pretty good mood, playing on a rug while we listened to some live music - and was even happy for a little cuddle, which Andrew captured here.
Then, for contrast, some of William taken a rainy Autumn day, when we were scrumping apples (mentioned in an earlier blog).
And, for contrast - this is another face that we are beginning to see more of - here come the terrible twos!
I'm just sitting at the computer planning the logstics of the first ever Christmas lunch that I shall cook tomorrow. I'm gaining appreciation for the 35 Christmas meals that I've eaten to date, without having this pressure of actually cooking it all! How long do I need to cook a 5kg (=11lbs) duck for???? Does anyone know?
