After all the excitement of Christmas, we stepped it up and went on partying, harder, faster and stronger. It was great to catch the occasional break from it all. Here is Olive and Tom Jr chilling in Granny G'nT's telly seat:
...Ma and Pa's friends came from all over northern England for a lightning strike session...
...and then that was it. We were back to London on Mama's b'day. I got to meet her aunt and uncle and we -well, strictly speaking they- ate and drank Spanish food and wine. Here I am with Angela, my great aunt.
...then it was New Year's Eve. We had a good get together with friends and Daddy's family; eating too much....
...and some of us drinking too much as well. It came as no surprise that the two messiest revellers were my Dad and my uncle. They started trying to do Russian folk dancing and notwithstanding their obvious lack of talent, didn't have enough control over their limbs even if they had had any talent.
...Tom Jr's Ma promptly took uncle Phil home!!
The next morning we had the epic mission back to a very rainy Vancouver. Papa was very quiet muttering something about honouring his pal Buzzer with "silent reading" all the way home.
Yay Happy New Year!
