Sorry but the photos were taken on an ipod as I forgot the camera - so a bit pixelated!
The plan was to go ice skating at Heviz before visiting Tescos for a couple of last minute pressies and then home to prep the dinner and wrap presents.
On leaving the village, we discovered some escapees, it seems a yearly occurrence in the village though it wasn't the pony this year but rather the goats and sheep who had decided to make a bid for freedom and demolish the shrubbery around the church!
Eventually, we made it to the ice rink which was surprisingly quite.
On the drive back to our village, we decided to investigate a strangely shaped tower which has puzzled us the whole time we have lived here. For now, we are still unsure what the tower is though it appears to be newly built and the views from the top of the hill are quite stunning. We also discovered what appears to be a small village tucked in the valley but is actually the end of Dioskal village - until then, we didn't realise it stretched so far over into the hills.
Back at home, Plum sported her new Xmas jumper as it was getting a bit chilly. Finished the food prep including the Xmas cake and some duck liver pate.
So presents are wrapped and the food is in hand and we can't wait till tomorrow. Even though the children are now older, we still tracked Santa on Norad - well, it wouldn't be the same without Santa would it ;-)
Before I o. I would just like to thank everybody who sent messages wishing me well and asking after my health - it was much appreciated.
A special thank you to my dear friends John and Trish who are themselves going through a tough time this Xmas, all our love to you both and of course Marie - our thoughts are with you all this Xmas.....
I'll be back before the New Year with my list of resolutions as I feel 2012 is a time for change :-)
For now, Merry Xmas to you all and I hope it's a good one.
