Monday 4.



It soared away over the housetops to the applause of all. It remained in sight for some five minutes or so, and eventually 'went out' about half a mile away over fields. We set out for home at about six o'clock and got home two hours later. We were talking about this Christmas over a scrambled egg supper, and agreed that it had been an excellent one, spread over ten days. Not perhaps as intense as when our children were young, but easily as enjoyable for being more relaxed and spread out. After a good start to the New Year, we wish you all a healthy, happy, and prosperous (had to correct that word - I'd started to make it 'preposterous') one.
We also wish you a very good night.

Quite agree - excellent Christmas and New Year, very relaxed and seemed to go on for a while instead of flying past in a blur ! So pleased you enjoyed the balloon, seemed to round off a good festive season. Thank you for your efforts with the clock - we do appreciate it and hope it doesn't take too much of your time !!! get it ???
Sorry had a glass of merlot after you had gone and a lovely meal of curry and popadums, Jamie and Amelia have now gone to see friends and Sophie has gone to the pub in town to see her pals, we are in bed 'chillaxing'.
See you soon, Stig x x x

Thank you Stig. If it was the same merlot we had at lunch it was an excellent one. See you soon, Granny and Pa.

Thank you Lori. I hope we do, but certainly no more than the residents of Skoog Farm obviously know how to enjoy themselves.
Warm regards to you both, Mike and Ann.

New Year Stig? What's wrong with the old one, Eh? Got to make economies y'know, can't go around throwing perfectly good years away just because they're a bit old fashioned and imperfect. Preposterous! Bah, Humbug young Missy!
