The 'Xmas' do

Walked into Holmfirth this morning with MrM - I needed to catch the post, and we had decided to have brunch at Beatties. Just reached the post box in time for the Saturday collection, but there were no vacant tables at Beatties. The town was absolutely heaving, and most of the cafés were full to overflowing. We were lucky to find a table at 'The Wrinkled Stocking', where MrM had a large breakfast, and I enjoyed a small one.

Spent the afternoon in the garden. Planted the winter jasmine that we bought a while ago, tackled a couple of other little jobs, then started pruning a huge, gnarled old honeysuckle. It'll either kill it or cure rejuvenate it!

The music shop where MrM works held its 'Xmas' do this evening - good food, good company, and good fun. Lots of music too, of course!
