It was a real family Christmas this year as I drove Mum and Dad up to Bryan and Margaret’s on Christmas Eve. As all the girls were at home and as Dad is unable to scale the stairs now, Bryan had booked Mum and Dad into the Holiday Inn which was just 5 mins down the road, at the Airport. It was quite a walk from the car to the bedroom (on the ground floor but Dad was great and managed the walk, mainly without stopping. He has been suffering with water retention in his legs recently which has curtailed his mobility and on the first night in the Hotel he had a water blister on one of his legs that burst. Once open it constantly weeps but poor thing, he endured it in silence for the whole break.
Christmas Day was the usual mix of eating to excess, present opening to excess and game playing to excess. The main games this year were a homemade version of Deal or No Deal complete with 26 red boxes and a published board game version of Million Pound Drop. All expertly hosted by Bryan of course!
