Well in our house, as soon as everything was started, Turkey in the oven, veg warming up and before anyone arrived, I had to rush off to hospital with an irregular heart beat. Phoned family to let them know, but they could not find a door key, so off we went, leaving the door unlocked and the food cooking.
Around this point messages to various family members got mixed up and a degree of falling out took place. After being given treatment and already seeing photos of some of the family getting sloshed in our kitchen. We got home, late but not too late. Son-in-law who dropped everything to save the day for us suddenly came down with severe flu symptoms and struggled to drive some of the people home, while others did not come thinking I might be too ill to cope.
With more food and drink left over than the average large restaurant, we have been reading blogs from friends touring with their vans in warm places. We are somewhat green with envy. Will be with you next year!
