Christmas in Oxford

I got to the Fairhearts on the 20th of December. The trip on the the train and bus were uneventful. Del and Lachlan met me at the Park and Ride.

The house was in a bit of an upheaval as Del is putting up new cabinets in the kitchen, and all the stuff from the old cabinets had to be moved out from the kitchen. The cabinets look lovely and Anne will be happy once they are all done. Next project is new flooring for the living room in February.

We did some Christmas shopping on the 21, for the Saturday before Christmas the shops were busy but more crazy busy.

Christmas Eve we went to Ade and Beata's for the traditional Christmas Eve dinner. Lots of dumplings and fish. Very tasty. Christmas Day was the usual opening stockings and then presents. Del made a chicken with all the sides and Anne made cabbage rolls. 

Anne and Del left on the 27th for Belfast and left Lachlan and I to our own devices. We had fun.

Monday Lachlan and went to town and the Story Museum, then to the Christmas Market for a ride on the Carousel.

When we were walking back to catch the bus home we saw Ade, walking with some friends of his. I know two people in Oxford, what are odds I would see one of them in the street!!
