Boxing Day

Boxing Day means play with new toys day! Phoebe was desperate to get her new Lego out at 7:30 this morning *yawn*. Xander played with his airport and trains and we all received stickers from phoebes sticker machine.

At midday we took a walk into the village to see the Hunt pass through. I don’t support hunting in any form and was loathe to go but Phoebe wanted to see the horses and I’m assured that they don’t hunt foxes anymore (but who knows). Anyway it’s quite a spectacle to behold. The highly groomed horses and hounds are a spectacular sight. The bright red uniforms and the pomp and pomposity that goes with it, was quite a good show.

This evening I made a turkey, leek and bacon pie which was very well liked and we had clean plates all round. Once the kids were in bed James and I watched our second film of the day, Jurassic World (the first being Shaun the sheep!)
