Tis the season ?

Torrential rain most of the day.  At least no floods here. Awful for some in other areas

A meal.out with my brother and wife ..A rare occasion and great to catch up. 
The hotel has just been decorated outside for Christmas..Very pretty and early enough in the season to enjoy. 
Presents exchanged .but not to be opened till Dec 25 th. 
Good to see them, a shame we.live so far apart.
