Northern hemisphere christmas shopping expedition

The missing members were discussed, remembered and with us in spirit. The rest of family and friends tucked into Tapas with gusto. Some had vino, some had brandy in their coffee, but all had wide smiles and full bellies.
Some travelled for 5 hours, a couple stayed overnight, a new "friend" introduced and we took the long way over Clacks bridge due to the FB closure, but we all met up and coffee'd, lunched and xmas marketed.
The big wheel was left to Uncle Sandy duties, while we warmed ourselves around some Gluhwein. 
Wouldn't want to cramp his style.
We were all a wee tad tired, but delighted to see so many there.

A repeat performance is already in some diaries for the last Sunday before xmas next year. If not, it should be !

As aye
