Christmas Party

When we moved into our road, there was an active babysitting circle - where we'd babysit the children for each other in exchange for tokens.

Although our kids are now older and the babysitting doesn't happen so much any more, the group still has many social get-togethers. The Christmas Party is definitely one of the highlights of the year.

Twenty-one of us enjoyed the festivities this year at the Old Goat in Teddington, and here is Elaine, who was our very first babysitter when we moved into the road seven years ago.
