Getting Ready for Christmas

She's fourth from the left - if she'd put the beard on I wouldn't have known!
Vicky decided to do the local Bovey Tracey Santa Run instead of a parkrun - here she is in suitable attire with some of her friends. Several hundred santas and elves raised money for Whizzkids and the local lifesaving club.  This was a Santa Run with a difference as the run was followed by a dip in the open air swimming pool, heated specially for the occasion. Oh and lucky Vicky won a prize in the raffle - Mango Bathsalts!

Iceland's gone up in my estimation!
Two days to Christmas and we've got everything haven't we? Oh no where's the Christmas Pudding. Trip to Morrisons found us walking down an almost empty aisle looking up at some tiny, one mouthful puddings on the shelf. Oh the M and S Foodhall will have some surely..........nope, all that was left were some very expensive prosecco Christmas puddings. What a disaster, we walked back towards the car past Iceland feeling rather despondent, in desperation I turned back to Iceland and what a surprise! Not only did they have a great selection but there were plenty in store - we plumped for the brandy, sherry and cognac 12 month matured pud. Saved by Iceland!
