we went to friends for the first weekend in Jan, our equivalent of first footing since i had missed the new year celebrations. Lovely friends, and their house is the equivalent of ‘the last homely house’ being always very welcoming, but a bit of a journey to get to, and off the beaten track such that it is indeed the last house 
.
We had a lovely weekend, and were lucky that not only the SOTP family were our hosts, but also hosted the barts on saturday. we had an extra christmassy meal with crackers, we played games, laughed [lots] gossipped, and the kids played without hitches or glitches. just a perfect weekend with friends thankyou.
