Merry Christmas 2018

A reasonably happy Christmas season this year. I'm wasting time writing this entry/taking a break from pre-party cleaning. At 6pm tonight our holiday season peaks with a Nibbles & Drinks party here for a few friends.

The year draws to a close with good news from all 3 of my children: Andrew & Joanna have bought their first house in Alexandria, VA and are well settled in. They are both working, Andrew for the EPA and Joanna is teaching. Adam and Geri bought their first house near Tampa, Florida. Adam is still working for the bank in NYC and commuting to Florida and Geri has her hands full with the 3 kids. Asti is working on a Munich, Germany based project and commuting periodically back to her home base in Basel, Switzerland. Her husband Jeurn's ship is stuck in Port Moresby at the moment for repairs. I'm incredibly happy things are looking up fr all of them.

Back in London, we had great eating this year with Wild Pheasant with Moroccan Spices for Christmas Eve dinner and our annual, highly anticipated chateaubriand roast dinner on Christmas day. See photo below:


Tonight at 6pm the party madness starts here. I'm off to get things ready now.

Wishing peace and joy and the blessings of the season to you all.
