Assorted clips from the Holiday, plus D rolling for the first time.

D has begun that gastronomical journey towards fine sushi, really good pub food and a bit of fresh pasta in Naples. Mashed carrot is the first step.

Most kids C's age want to know what the big people are doing after they've been told to go to bed. C sometimes makes a curtain call- sitting in his doorway, listening to conversations downstairs or reading. We found this sight a few nights ago.

At the risk of ruining the Santa mystery, Uncle Nate and I found ourselves in SantaCon 08 on Saturday. This is essentially a pub crawl in costume, with no elves, and reindeer must be on leashes. It ended in Trafagar Square, near to where we were meeting some friends.

We went to the Christmas Fair at the local Church of England church last weekend- St Barnabas. We've been to a few high services there- lots of bells and smells- as Bells would say. They had Father Christmas in attendance, but it was much more thrilling to have ones face painted. I even won a bottle of champange in a raffle.
