Christmas Has Been And Gone...

.....but the fruit cakes remain!

There have been some very odd posts today!

I think the real probelm is that the 'rest home for the incurably deluded' is finally closing its doors and the erstwhile residents no longer have a playpark or anyone to play with.

Do you mean 'the darkside' Dave? If SAB is closing then it could get 'interesting' round here :-/

Not in my house they don't ! There is nothing like a good slice of really rich fruitcake, with marzipan and icing. If my slice still has the little Xmas tree on it...all the better !

I know what you mean Eccles, but it takes all sorts you know !

I haven't been here so it ain't me, Eccles.

I have just had good news and that is that my goddaughter has just got engaged on the ski-slopes under the Matterhorn, her now-fiancé catching her completely unawares, stopping at a scenic point and getting an Italian to take a pic of them. She was giving him grief about faffing around with his goggles and poles and he dropped to his knee.

He had asked her father for his 'permission' on New Year's Eve......and her father played a blinder in putting her mother off the scent. Wedding probably next Spring as he is finishing a Masters.

DT, Phew! When I read 'he dropped...', I thought you were going to say 'the ring in the snow!' What a relief!

Daffy,they've been saying goodbye every day for months now.

[DTCwordfan]

He had that to hand, naomi......

[naomi24]

It was the faffing with the goggles and poles that conjured up the vision. All that and hanging on to an engagement ring too! Good man!!

Nice news DTC. :-)
