Erika is working overtime.... she and Nicholas will be open on christmas morning for those forgotten bits, what saints they are - 

Here is a fine duck, painted on Katerinas staircase by Nel, along with other beasties. Very nice piece of work -

and here of course is Katrina, cooking the now traditional Norwegian feast for a handful of the blessed...

Voila, Nell looking adorable and Alain, less so...  but better than the other snaps of Rose, Louise, Norbert, Pete, Bob and Charlotte. Veil drawn.

Wishing all the readers out there a fulfilling and content day spent in the company of people you care for.

Those following the story of my nephew Paddy Beer, cruelly struck by GBS, will be pleased to know that he can now talk and has spent 45 mins off the ventilator. He's improving rapidly. Best possible present! Thanks to all for the messages and prayers. I'm now a believer.
