Had a lovely Christmas day , just Karen and I sadly no grand daughters this year as the family living in France. Hopefully we will get to see them again in 2021. Thankfully we did have a video linkup with them but trying to keep a 7&3 year olds interest talking to Grandma & Grandpa is difficult especially when they have presents still to open.
