On Wednesday we had a visit from Wayne and Lorraine and their children Dean and Chloe. Dean, who is now 8, is getting to be tall and seemed to take great pleasure in telling me he'll soon be taller than me. Dean has also added to his list of hobbies. It's no longer football, football, football, but now also books. We had a good chat about snakes and history. He has a very good memory for names and facts. Chloe is the sweetest little girl I have ever known. She has become more chatty and was not as shy as other times we have got together. Cora enjoyed playing with them both and took a real shine to Dean. What is it with that name?
In the evening Andy and Jenny came over.
We had a lovely time chatting and catching up with one another. Although there was not a lot that they didn't know. Andy and Jen are regular blog readers and knew all that was going on with the Howards in America.
Cora entertained us all by serving tea from her new tea set to everyone apart from Andy who had to beg for a cup. He eventually got his imaginary cuppa after finally agreeing to pay for one. Cora duly obliged when the readies were shown.
New Years Eve
We spent the morning in Yeovil and Mum and Dad (more Mum than Dad) bought a new laptop from PC World. They wanted to take advantage of the lower sales tax rate of 15% before it was raised back up to the normal 17.5% rate.
After Cora's late nap we drove over to Dean and Jen's house for New Years Eve. We had a nice evening chatting and playing games with Jen's Mum, Dad, Sister Karen and her husband Lee and their 3 children Amie, Ellie and Matty. Again, Cora had a nice time playing with all the girls and playing against Matty on the Circus games on Deans Wii computer.
We were back at home to see-in the new year and watch the splattering of fireworks let off around the village.
Happy New Year to all our Friends and family.
We wish you health, happiness and love for 2010.
