This is my first Christmas at home for six years! Earlier in the year it became apparent that two very good friends of mine, who had never met each other, were both going to be spending Christmas alone this year.'We can't have that!' I thought, so I arranged for them to meet, just to be on the safe side, and sure enough, they got on really well and we've since had several really good days out together. So then I invited them both to come for the day at Christmas and they were both delighted.
One of them is bringing a starter, the other is bringing a choice of puddings and I'm doing the main course. We're all really looking forward to it, and I'm just so much enjoying being at home again for Christmas!

Warmest wishes for Christmas to all of you, with love from Joy and me.xxx
