A nice bright morning although cold and Ellie loved the wind in her ears. This is the view from our front door now all the leaves have fallen.

After our very cold walk we went to get more wood at the skip hire place, Mal chopped it up while I cleaned the car out!

We actually managed to get all the Christmas decorations out. We were going to buy a real tree but somehow our enthusiasm waned and I put up the small artificial one we had last year. 

Every year, just before Christmas Chas and Dave come “Dahn to Margit”. We book the tickets as soon as they are released which means we always manage to get the table right in the middle in front of the stage. Again neither of us felt in a party mood and Mal even suggested we didn’t go. The fact Chas has just recovered from cancer and we have heard this will be their last Margit visit as they are reducing their appearances next year, we felt we must make the effort. It also meant a couple of hours of ‘forgetting’. For the first time they had a support band with them who came on first.

I have to say they were as good and as entertaining as ever and sang all the old favourites, including of course the very noisy “Dahn to Margit” as the entire audience joins in. Well actually everyone joins in all their numbers! 

Again this year Vic Reeves was in the audience in fact sitting at the table next to us. He is a really nice fella and has no objections to people taking photos of him.

I think we did Torin proud and had a bit of a knees up.
