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

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

Christmas at Norwich

24-26 Dec '10: We went to Norwich for the Xmas celebration, all meeting at Sophie's house. About 200m short of the house, there was a nasty noise from the engine, and it got us to the house, but had to be brought back on a low loader to Nottingham on Boxing day. We had to use Soph's Kia for the next two days. Henry and Carol also turned up for the weekend, and Sophie also had Rachel staying.
   Xmas morning, we went to the Cathedral because it was near our hotel, and we hoped to meet Peter Tregenza and Judy Torrington - we did meet them after the service.
  Sophie had more visitors to join us for Xmas, Keith, Helen, Mike and Steve, and later Tom Plackett and Tom the Baker... and then Ian. At one point we had three dogs in the house too!
[ I have more to write, and more pics, but will add them later.]
