The best thing about

Costa Christmas. The annual family shopping expedition. (And this wasn't all of them). We always seem to take over a coffee shop, but one poor chap steadfastly refused to be "disturbed" and read on with his paper. Ally and pup stayed behind the camera, or my position as it's called.

A full day for a newly released from confines 16 week old Kris was delighted to see everyone but that meant kaos, so we took her to see the BP portrait exhibition, where she was extremely good. There may be a guide dog in there after all, but don't hold your breathe.

A wonderful day, coffee, lunch and light show on George street to raise the spirits........... well the company and food were good.

Wonderful family fun and that is what my Xmas is.

Hope you all get out there and enjoy some time with others... who ever they are.

As aye
