Today is January 5th. We have survived Christmas and the New Year. With four children at the house and lots of visiting children, it has been a busy and noisy time. We all went to Patrick and Sarah's house for Christmas Day, eleven adults, eleven children.
Patrick and Sarah were very hospitable. We had a wonderful Christmas dinner with two turkeys and a big piece of beef, with all the trimmings. Delia was with us last year and enjoyed her day. She loved going out to dinner. Everybody came to us until our house became too small or the extended family became too big and Patrick and Sarah bought a big house.
Tonight is the eve of the feast of the Kings. All Spanish children have a visit from the Kings and presents in their shoes, so its early to bed.

Yes, the Kings came. They even found my wellingtons and put a chocolate bar in each. I went to visit Bridie and Pat today. It was a nice easy journey with no holdups. It was lovely and peaceful with just the three of us. Quite often, Mary's and Bernadette's children are there, so its hectic. It's nice to be home again.
