A quick posting before the mayhem sets in, first off some of the more refined Arnold-Sealy family group went to the savoy, the unrefined Arnold males went to see the Bloodhound Gang accompanied by 8 pints of Staropramen (not advisable)






Elise recieved a special present from Auntie Sue in New Zealand and it has been a great bribery tool to get her ready for school in the mornings (if only there were 365 day calenders!)




Ben, Karrene and Elise took a trip to the Natural History Museum, Whilst John and myself went to the Imperial War Museum,( Something about too many dinosaurs in one place was mentioned) not sure what they meant! This is elise with her souvenir from the day.






We also have a budding actress as was proved by elise getting the star role in the reception class nativity play ( My talents were also fully recognised at that age, i was lead sheep)





This was quickly followed by star role in the nursey play (last ever day is this friday) As the female friend of the snowman .

Finally we all went to see Santa(s) at Harrods, We waited patiently for 2 1/2 hours to see the great man himself, with only the occasional moan and gripe, elise was very good though! And although she was shy with him she loved the whole day. Me? i noticed there are no exit signs there, every way you go you get diverted past more old (pricey) Tat!

Anyway merry xmas to all but especially to our very warm friends overseas, enjoy your after dinner dips etc (jammy sods)
