We spent Christmas day with Merry and Gary and their family.  Meet the family: Philippa, the famous Felicity J (‘Is your name really Felicity J?’ asked Paul), Merry, Alistair and Gary.  Not sure why Gary is looking so worried.

After the main meal a quick game of crocket.  Let’s talk strategy – Gary’s sister, Robyn, and Stephen playing crotchet – now not seen that in a long, long time – the game I mean.
