Boxing Day ... so named because it’s the day that postmen etc, got a gift box
from the people they served over the year. The
 |
| Birthday cake .... it was very tasty, |
practice is thought to have originated
in Victorian Britain.
We
have ‘sunny Sussex’ this morning .... the first since I arrived that is has been
thus .... a nice morning for a walk
round to Leeann and Martyn’s.
22.30 Darcie, and her friends, enjoyed her family
party, (the main party was a week ago at a ‘Party Venue’); as did the adults, who enjoyed loads of
food, various liquid refreshments.... with plenty of people with which to
chat. Martyn cooked a huge (19kg) ham, which he bought at
Smithfield Market, and it was absolutely delicious..... this naughty boy has
had his share of food this Christmas.
‘JB’ and I decided to walk home thee long way round, by way of
 |
| .... some of party goers. |
Church
Street, for some exercise; and to visit
the kirk. The kirk was open for prayer
and meditation. By the time we left the
kirk John was thinking of joining the clergy;
and there were a few spits and spots of rain blowing through. Holy Cross church is a big and bonnie
church inside... and, like Kinneuchar, is built on the site of an older, pre - Reformation Chapel situated on a pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Lewes and
beyond.
I
don’t have a ‘plan’ for tomorrow.... right now we have wind and rain, and the
weather will dictate tomorrow’s activities; and the forecast is not promising
at all. Sleet and snow showers have
been mentioned for Sussex and the Southeast!
We
spent this evening playing domino’s, a game I haven’t played for years; Janice
 |
| .... blowing out the candles. |
and Michael against ‘JB’ and me. It was hilarious, and in the end Janice and
Michael won ... 2 – 1.....though it might have been the other way round.
