Morning chuckle and Christmas updates

From one of the travel e-newsletters I receive, the top cities to visit for 2009:
1) Washington DC
2) Cape Town
3) Vilnius
4) Milwaukee

Had some visitors over the Christmas period, we tried our best to make them feel as if the UK was their home.  So Kirsten and I took Mads and Martyn to Royal Albert Hall for a night of caroling by the London Mozart Symphony Orchestra and Choir.  Aside from the encouragement for the whole audience to sing it was a special experience in a beautiful venue.  Befitting our social standing we were in the 2nd tier in a private box, directly facing the stage, the Royal box was just below us.

Finally we spent Boxing Day and post-Boxing Day with the Gowars.  It was two days of over satiation of food and wine, mixed in between were some long walks through the woods, a stop in a classic English pub (Barley Mow) and general lazing around watching sport and playing board games.  A very nice way to spend a few days extending the Christmas spirit.
