At Home With Kathy & David

Kathy and David arrived by train yesterday for the now almost annual New Year visitation. They left their lovely home in warm and sunny Kent for the howling cold and wet of the upper Calder Valley with its indifferent supermarkets and incomprehensible accents.
Avoiding all that, David read avidly an improving book ...
Chris made her first tarte tatin in her new le Creuset tarte tatin cast iron dish ...
(it's not in the dish in question)
Johnny played with the Meccano set that Gaby gave him for Christmas ...
Kathy played Clare de Lune ...

And went on to a selection of the old carols my father used to play fifty years ago.
Very sad, all that's gone out now.
