NEW YEAR BLOG

A very Happy New Year to you all. I had a wonderful Christmas, spent in a beautiful location in Derbyshire. I stayed in a large Georgian house, together with approximately 40 other guests for a Christmas House Party.

We all started arriving at 4pm on Saturday 23rd December, we had tea and cakes on arrival, followed by a three course dinner at 6-30pm. (the food was superb and the wine was included) After dinner we played the t.v. game "Deal or no Deal?" My name was picked at random to be the contestant, (having never watched the programme, I had no idea what the game was about, but I soon picked up the rules with the help of the audience) the game ended with my winning £75,000 (not really, this was quickly substituted with a box of chocolates) it was good fun.

At 9pm we all sang Christmas Carols in the lounge, ( a fellow guest accompanied us on the piano)
That was day one, of a very full, fun packed five days of festivities.

Day 2 will be my next blog.

I can feel you all waiting with baited breath for the next installment!! (joking)

That sounds like a great way to spend the Xmas holidays, being full of festive activities an all.

Shame you didn't win the £75,000 for real.

Glad that it was such a good holiday for you also.

Happy new year - it sounds like the start of an Agatha Christie novel, but hopefully without the morbid outcome - Tone x
