Xmas day and I know what you are all thinking......sun, sand etc....well guess what???? It was cloudy and rained! Never mind our xmas lunch more than made upo for it. The hotel put on what I can only describe as a sumptous buffet. There was a pile of lobsters 2 foot high and a mountain of king prawns, I just didnt know where to start. No turkey though but hey champagne and lobster, who needs turkey. Oh and the desserts how many differnt ones did I try, dont ask how many jill tried!!!! In true xmas tradition we spent 2 hours eating as much as we physically could... then another plateful each. We then retired to room, collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep watching james bond. Boxing day the sun is back out in full force. The local kids are still trying their emotional blackmail, they didnt get any presents so they want us to buy them football boots or Barcelona shirts with their names on the back. Jill is cracking under sever pressure!!! Luckily the local shopping centre is closed today but they have told us it is open again tomorrow...excuses on a postcard please!!! Happy 50th to Derek for tomorrow, I guess Norwich gave you the perfect present!!
