Popular Post andyram Posted December 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2016 Well 2016 certainly has had lots of nasty surprises for many of us personally, and in the world of celebrity. So many high profile losses and Rik Parfitt becomes latest. RIP to another British legend. Of course with Carrie Fisher fighting for her life after a massive heart attack the year may not have finished yet. May the force be with her and she will recover. Here at home Sarah continues to improve and managed, with her mum's help, to cook a simple buffet tea for the five of us this evening. FiL was busy helping me in the garage as we tried to fathom out the construction of Amber's new bike. The young lady will be pleased as she asked the man in red for this particular bike earlier today. Yes she got to see him again. This time at the Masson Mill shopping outlet in Cromford. This was a jaunt out to escape whilst mum discretely wrapped presents. I think that job alone tired Sarah out who has confessed to losing half a stone in weight. Whilst at Cromford I picked up some bits and pieces of track for the Christmas project. The final track plan has now been decided. I may even start a thread or share pictures soon. Anyway there are one or two last minute presents to wrap. The little lady has drifted off to sleep in seconds so hopefully she will stay that way for a while. I had better go off and do what we need to do. In case I do not get to log back on tonight I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 24, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2016 A good day with long time friend in Haywards Heath then after numerous cancelled trains we made it to Brighton for more beer drinking in a bar that we last visited with our late friend some years ago so a beer for him. Trains very quiet no doubt that many now no longer risk using them but luckily after our final drink in the Evening Star near the station we travelled on the planned services home. Merry Christmas all 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnDMJ Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Good evening all! Thank you for your concerns over my recent hospital visits. The US scan suggested that everything was flowing normally; having waited over an hour in 'Emergency Floor' (formerly AMU - Acute Medical Unit), I was told that I have neither blood clot or DVT, merely a reprise of the inflammatory arthritis which propelled me to Sister Rheumstologist in the first instance! Hey Ho! Merry Ch******s to all and Happy New Year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium petethemole Posted December 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2016 Yule Blessings and a Merry Christmas to all ERs. I haven't been posting recently as I would either moan or rant, or both. However now is not the time. We have Polar Express on and I've just finished a Bah Humbug ale, following it with a Old Empire IPA. Tomorrow will be a quiet day. Mrs mole will drop in. Eating the wrong things and supping a few ales will pass some time. Dr Who and The Last Dragonslayer are planned TV highlights for us. A small green locomotive will hopefully have a trial run and shunt. Have a good one. Pete 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edcayton Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 As a child I used to be so excited that I got up really early (3 or 4) on Christmas morning. I would sometimes meet my Dad who had not gone to bed from Christmas Eve, finish the assembly of or playing with my toys! When our boys were young we let them have a couple of small presents in their room, but they knew that all the pressies under the tree would wait until the rellies arrived. #Ed 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted December 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2016 Been to the pub... first one we visited was shut.... power failure! Second one was fine and not too noisy. Beers drunk and then a return home to watch Peter Kay... what a man! Youngest Herbert brought some beer home so a nice bottle of Lagunitas IPA - at 6.2% a strong beer to finish the night with. (and the brewery is now owned by heinican who are bringing some of their sales guys to the UK .. watch this space. Andy a nice idea perhaps a positive tone would be the right approach. I miss Jock and his PMs as well as his daily resume'. Jock - a great man who brought clarity and friendship to a lot of people. Baz 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted December 24, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 24, 2016 Good evening from Estuary-Land. Needless to say I've forgotten something, mince pies. I just had to take a slice of stollen cake with my cup of tea instead. I've ordered some tea from the company recomended by Mal but of course it won't arrive until after Christmas. I was surprised at first to see that tea was grown that far north but then as wine is produced commercially in Scotland I shouldn't be. After all Churchill proposed producing tea in Britain during WW2 but dropped the idea when he learnt that it needs 5 years before a tea bush is ready for its first harvest. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted December 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 25, 2016 A good night was had by all with friends. Junior NB organised the party games which were well participated in. I was banned because I'm too competitive................. I didn't mind too much, as it meant more drinking/eating time.. I hope all those that can, enjoy the festive day and sincere best wishes to those that can't for various reasons. I'm still relatively awake, so there may be an hour's modelling done. Merry Christmas everyone. Cheers, Mick 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted December 25, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 25, 2016 http://prosandconscomic.com/ This comic for Christmas Day should be relevant. We get it in our newspaper the day before. Relaxed today. Temperature above freezing. Get together of various village residents for coffee and nibbles this afternoon. Morrow off to SIL's place; we're taking the turkey. Her son has driven in from Alberta. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Her son has driven in from Alberta. Brave boy! Yesterday, our son and family took just short of 9 hours for a 4 and a half hour drive within BC, with cars off the road, on their roofs, crunched against each other all around them on the way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 25, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 25, 2016 Morning all and Merry Christmas from us! We hope for a quiet day, having had the formerly awkward daughter and family here for a successful day on Friday, and spent a little while in the pub yesterday. We hope you can have a good day, be it with friends, rellies or just your own company. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
