The bit in-between

So Boxing Day came and went and on reflection today (31st December) no-one can remember what we got up to!  Obviously a great day!  I have a feeling it was a horrible day weather wise and I know we had cold cuts and cheese for lunch and fruit salad for tea, but apart from that we just can't remember what we got up to.  I'm assuming Tom had a long bath with one of his new bath bombs and Matt and I got happy drinking wine.  Think we may have watched a documentary about baby reindeers in Scotland, but apart from that we really can't remember what we did!

Herdy!

27th was another grey and miserable day. Assuming we had been stuck inside all day on Boxing day, I decided that Tom and I would go for a walk, whilst Matt decided he was going to have a day of work.  Tom and I went for a walk around the village for fresh air more than anything else. Came across some friendly Herdies which is always a bonus.  Then a light lunch and then the afternoon was spent watching Croccodile Dundee.  After that we played Ticket to Ride (Tom won) and Monopoly (Tom won)!  Humpfh!  Tea was flash fried beef with garlic butter - delicious.  Tom then spent 2 ¾ hours on the phone with his best friend from QES so Matt and I had a quiet evening.

28th was a beautiful day - blue sky, frost and snow on the hillsides.

We had arranged to meet up with the Fosters for a walk which was good.  We met up after lunch in Clapham and did a circuit around the Norber Erratics.  It was the most wonderful day - deep blue skies, great company and beautiful scenery, we were all on a high.  We had Christmas cake and hot punch at the summit.  Got back to Clapham just as the sun went down.

A lovely day.

29th - we had arranged to meet up with the Raddas for a walk around Ribblehead with them.  The weather wasn't as beautiful as the day before, but we still enjoyed it and of course, it was good to socialise.  Tom felt lightheaded this morning - not sure what that is about - but he always has gammy ears, so decided to start oiling them in an attempt to get some wax dislodged.  I took him for a walk around the village and that seemed to perk him up, he was fine walking around Ribblehead but he felt funny again when he went to bed.  Very strange.
