Christmas chez Barne

After my first ever work Christmas lunch (a significant milestone) I found myself travelling back from London late on the 22nd December with precious little time to finish my Christmas shopping. Fortunately the rather unexpectably placed delicatessant in a nearby village saved the day, and Christmas rolled on.

Altogether a lovely family time, the highlight being perhaps the musical crackers. Each one contained a whistle which played a different note, and our hats all had numbers on them. From behind a score sheet, the musically minded among us directed the rabble into our own little carol orchestra.

However the real musical highlight was to come over the next few days....
