Here We All Are

Zion and I made mince pies this afternoon, with Ju and Beth helping, and Allegra biting the pie tins - made our own orange pastry, but not the mincemeat, but must say, better than even the M&S ones.

M and I took the grandkids down the Newhall Valley, fed the ducks, played poo sticks, had a drink from a flask on a sunny bench, and watched the most gorgeous robin hopping right up to us, as though she wanted Zion to have a good look at her.

Deb made us dinner while we watched Nativity, an easy to watch film that Zion enjoyed as well. Thanks, Deb! Paul got home from work in time to eat with us, and as we sat round the table together, Zion said, "Here we all are, sitting in a circle, so no-one falls down." True enough.
