Save the Penguins!!

Christmas penguins and Families

Best Christmas ever? Well so far, with many greater more fun filled ones to come. Fantastic to see the kids ripping the presents open on Christmas day morning, Dan using his ray gun to shoot everything and anything including very dis-chuffed cats. Ella with her credit card monopoly building empires. then off to Sally's family for Roast beef dinner very nice though not really Christmas dinner, where's the Turkey?, with even more pressies to open. Made our way home stuffed and tired after an excellent day.

Boxing day off ooop north to family meal and more pressies at Auntie Judith's another fantastic day and stuffed again!!!!! nice to see everyone and see baby Oliver growing up already.

Which brings us to New Years Day! and the fabulous Go Penguin in Liverpool. The penguins are scattered all over Liverpool city centre painted up by very creative artists. Sally played tourist guide with a map she mugged a local for. We walked our feet off tracking down scores of colourful penguins my favorite being Eval Penguival!!!

Liverpool what a revelation!

More Penguins and the Happy couple planning a New Year to remember

So after christmas dinner, mono rail to the rides and meeting real life reindeers, meeting a fat bloke in a red suit with a false beard, 2 hours in Splash Landings we made our way home tired but very happy. thank you Alton Towers

Again wow what a beautiful magical place..... as i said Alton Towers

Post Extra large Xmas dinner, stripy jumper hiding very full big belly. Ella was far more intelligent than i and only ate one christmas dinner!!

Alton towers Santa event day. Fantastic Christmas dinner as you can see Dan enjoyed his yummy tom soup

Perfect Start to christmas

When I arrived home from probably the scummiest fitness first in the world feeling despondent I was greeted with multi coloured twinkles of seasonal led fuelled wonderfulness along all our guttering. Sally had risked life and limb with step ladders to add xmas to the house. once in the house, there it was 6ft of real xmas tree bedecked in lights baubles and pink gauze, fabulous!!!!!!!!!
