well, I’ve been back for a week now. Vicky and Poppy came out to Barcelona to visit for a long weekend – I’ll put some photos up when I get chance and there’ll be a video to follow. It does take a couple of days to slow back down in to normal life after working out there but I’m starting to reach 30mph once more. So now it’s time to start Christmas shopping again… I’ve got most things sorted, and now Vicky has a car (thanks mother-in-law for the loan!) she can go out and get the rest all done. We’re also planning for our Christmas day family buffet. I’m contributing the ideas of Onion Bhajis and Daim Cake from Ikea.
We’re not going to be putting a Christmas tree up this year either… we’ve decided that it wouldn’t last longer than 10 minutes with Poppy around as active as she is at the moment… the lights on the front of the house will definitly be up next week though.

But we are having Christmas at your house… you must have a tree….
BAH HUMBUG!!!
Shall we bring our own?!
We’ve had a vote at work and decided that you have to have a tree for Poppy to pull down – after all, you all had your chance to do same when you were little.
You could always put lights on a tree outside.
