coming out of xmas

Something of a chair crisis at number 9, admirably resolved by Annette and Cen with Rae taking his chance on the ricketiest seat in the house. Where have they gone? We had lots. Guessing that the tranquille christmas caused them to be put elsewhere.

After tea comes apero and we headed to New Kelly...

 Here's the girl, out of focus but en forme.  There are many pointless pictures on my camera this morning which I attribute to Kellys fab cooking. Quite like this one, below, where a dove seems to have settled on someone; and the other, where Kieran is ducking me, ha!

Our friends who are not elsewhere were there and Kells did her amazing tricks with food - she grinds up her own icing sugar! I'm normally rather cautious about obsessive behaviour but in Kells case it should be encouraged, IMHO.
