A lovely end to the festive season. Or a lovely start to 2011, take your pick

And however you call it, it was a lovely weekend.

Saturday was New Year's Day, which we passed fairly quietly.

Sunday was a Sunday.  I went with Freyja to East Midlands Airport to collect Julia and her pal Timon who had Christmas in Copenhagen and New Year in Berlin.  They're in Sheffield for a week before heading to New York until the money runs out, or their visa runs out in 14 months time, whichever happens first.

Then in the evening Tabitha, Gareth, Richard and Marryk came for Sunday roast.  Pork this time. With the chocolate cake and Christmas cake that Gaz and Taff had bought for Christmas as dessert.

On Monday, which was a public holiday, Freyja, Julia and Timon came for lunch.  We had Frannie's meat pies and steamed chocolate pudding with chocolate custard for lunch.  It was all very delicious. And a fitting end to the festive season which seems to have involved a great deal of eating and drinking.  From the end of November, now I come to think about it!!

Freyja put onto Twitter last night that she thought this morning's early start would come as an unpleasant shock to the system.

She was right!!!!!!!
