Christmas Lunch At Church

LOADS of people at church this morning, lovely service, then most of us went home. Except about 3 dozen people...

For the third year in a row, Leon and Gillian organised lunch at church. Bob and I went down at 2.45pm to watch the Queen on the Big Screen with all the guests.

As usual they were having a splendid time

Leon and Tom had done a great job, assisted by Gillian and friends

Although we had enjoyed a fantastic meal** ourselves, we did share in some Christmas pudding with them

And every guest received gifts - and a goodie bag

...this contained sweets, a satsuma, a toy, a bookmark and other little bits [guess which company Leon works for!]

Ryan gave a brilliant vote of thanks to all those who'd been involved [and he was almost the youngest there]

[**Liz and Steph did a great job with the goose and all the trimmings]

Sorry Ma'am, didn't think this speech was as good as last year's, but never mind. It is Christmas Day and now we shall play a family game of Cranium, as is traditional here.

  2. Merry Christmas, Angela! We like Cranium, too. I think I'll see if I can find the Queen's address on the Internet.

  3. Looks like fun.

    Yes, Hubs said after the Queen's speech, "Is that it?" I thought it was OK, but nothing especially gripping.
