(Yes, that IS us in the picture on the front of the card!)

Where has the time gone? What a year!

After leaving the bank for ethical reasons earlier in the year, Tony has been headhunted several times ? but he prefers to remain freelance. If there are any odd jobs you need done, do get in touch.

Dan is doing brilliantly at school and, of course, has Oxbridge in his sights. The Meeja belong to a tribe of nomads, so Dan tells me, and he has become quite a specialist in their study. In fact, Meeja Studies occupies most of his timetable.

Sue has turned out so pretty, popular and clever. The jobs she had in those few days were just not fulfilling and she is now doing arts, I think, with a nice bunch of people in a squad, or something. She must be very successful because she always has lots of money whenever I see her.

Little Jemmy is outstandingly bright (that?s a scan of her drawing enclosed for your fridge ? it?s Santa). We have discovered that she has dyslexia - but I?m afraid the teachers are useless. They didn?t seem know what we were talking about at the exclusion meeting last week.

And me? I?m keeping the whole ship together as well as doing my bit for the environment. I organise nighttime vigils in a quiet spot at the end of our lovely garden. It?s open to everyone, but it?s usually just me and a bottle or two of something to keep warm.

What have you been up to?

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
