Living in Taverham

Another beautiful day in Norwich.....albeit cold and rainy, but that's what England is all about this time of year. I must say it is much more festive than I'm used to and the English know how to party! So far we have 5 different parties to attend and the mulled wine is flowing freely! We went to a party this past Saturday held at a co-worker's house. It was a family affair which turned out to be interesting. I immediately became leader of the children's games and I'm now sure the adults are regretting my presence at any future events! After playing "Pass the parcel" and "Musical Chairs", we ventured into more adventurous territory with "Duck, Duck, Goose" and "Statues" amid squeals of excitement (or was it anger?) coming more from drunken adults then children. Suffice to say a good time was had by all and this Yank will be back next year for more.

This month sees the birth of a new remodeling phase in our home: furniture and carpet! Watch this space.

News from my son in California comes that he was in a car accident. Thankfully he was not hurt but my lovely silver honda (which I still thought of as "new" even tho it was purchased in 1998) was totaled. :( However, this paves the way for Kellan's dream of owning a pick up truck now. Again, watch this space.

Today was Roger's department's Christmas party. I post this photo as proof.

Ta-ra everybody!
