Rachael arrived pretty well on time on Wednesday morning but the airport was manic. Wall to wall people meant we were not out of the car park until 11 or so. Some shopping followed later that same afternoon and some more on Thursday (Christmas Eve!!) meant we nearly had everything we needed.
Except the kind of good sense and composure which should accompany the celebration of Christmas...
Pressies were opened and far more food than was required was consumed.
Then we got down to trying out the presents. Judy has always wanted a pair of the shoes sometimes seen on the feet of small boys - the kind which allow the child to speed around on small wheel in the heel of the shoe. Here she can be seen trying out the new "skates" with a little help from her daughters.
We have a booking for the hip replacement the new speedy shoes will inevitably necessitate.
Wheels? Well, "the big wheel runs by faith and the little wheel runs by trust in the Lord." At least that's what the spiritual says. Perhaps you could hire Rach and Jen to keep you upright!
