Christmas in Norwich

24-26 Dec 2011: Daughter Sophie was our host for Christmas again, having a 'social Sunday' in Norwich. There were 11 of us at lunch, a mixture of Sophie's friends from Uni and the York tavern, and us. Will cooked a venison casserole!

Tuck in folks!

It's all so delicious that Will finds the casserole emptied

Getting our just desserts

Lucy and Tom arrive for the evening fun

Thankyou to Sophie and Will for organising this - it's a new paradigm of Christmas celebration (sorry Charles Dickens....) 

Tall Buildings Party

11 Dec 2011: We invited the members of the Tall Buildings design studio to a Sunday-lunch party at our house in West Bridgford, everybody bringing a little bit of food. SN-C made some fine desserts. It was rainy, so we didn't have the hoped-for walk on the hill south of the house, but anyway, a good time was had by all. It is certainly a very international grouping, with students from various parts of India and of China, and a few besides (Vietnam, Turkey and..... err.... England!).
