After a bit of pampering at the hairdressers (I really should learn how to blow dry my hair) accompanied by Victor who was an angel, I am showered and dressed, help arrives. Margarita and Tina are helping with the finishing touches as Greg pours champagne and the children play with their new treasures. Bea and Peter, Kate and James (her absolutely charming new man) and Isaura are all here to share the giant turkey, steamed veg and wonderful wines. Tina queued early this morning at Cafe Lisboa to buy the best ever Portuguese custard tarts, our surprise pudding. Everything is perfect. Later, more friends join us for drinks, cheese and chocolates. The house is full of children and friends, the wine flows, music plays, and the kids, the snow falls we are all very mellow, happy days...
I think today is a big success, would be even better with few more of my siblings around... next year peut-etre...
Joyeux Noel everyone X
