Yes many thanks to you Snickers and especially Tracey who put up with some of us for another night! Hope you weren't too loney when we left Snickers but I'm sure most of us would be willing to accept another invitation and some of us (especially wiggy) would love your stilton & leek soup recipe.

Thanks also to Clare for her soup contribution (and obviously her company) and Shaney once again for being a lovely volunteer driver. It really was nice meeting everybody.

As above by Ali-Bach & TMIW!!!! thanks everyone for making my christmas special and me not having to be on my own, roll on the next one x

BK hope the photos come out from curry night.

Hi all, update on the ribs, been to local hospital, off to GP this afternoon for her to mess me about no doubt, can't move or breathe, drugs worn off, new supplies hopefully from doc. Just to say again I had a great time and wish you all a Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing you all soon. PS Sorry BC for Tim Tom taking the wrong turning!! he leaves everything until the last minute and I like to know in advance if I am going straight across the roundabout or left! Hope you got home safely one and all. Bye for now!! Hwyl!

Oh Ali-bach the lengths you go to to stay happy! 😉 Actually hope you're not in too much pain for long Have a great New Year. I admire your true grit and stiff upper lip and you're ability to laugh without breathing in!

A merry twixmas time was had by all and am still smiling :0)...thank you Snickers for being such an excellent host and tea maker and of course your princesses for their had work too. Speedy recovery to you Bach-Ali and thanks for the morning yoga sessions... very entertaining. Lovely to meet you all and look forward to next year's group meets :0)

second that glowing cheeks.....yoga, your comments and the tea x

Ali-bach, hopefully you'll be better soon, I wonder how much the rib pain was caused by the laughter!!! No worries about Tim Tom at least we got there eventually.
Thanks Snickers for the great time and hopefully you'll all get some chocolate balls for new year🙂

hi snickers many thanks to you and the princesses for making twixmas such a success. happy new year to everyone and look forward to some good walking and fun next year.

Have a good one Wiggy, enjoyed the chat, what a mix of accents eh! Twas a double act with Ali, unrehearsed just off the hoof. Us blokes missed the yoga bit in the morning - maybe next time. Hope you're okay Ali - every time I keep looking down your not there!! Got used to you trotting alongside me. I am flicking over with my tail one of your favourite chocs now - if I get it through the stable door!!
Wishing you a speedy heal or hoof!! X

yoga was the girls bedroom only, 200 tea bags how many pots is that! kitchen is all yours......until next time

Ali update: Ali is back at A n E tonight, got worse as days gone on, knowing Ali's threshold it must be painful. She doesn't like fussing but she appreciates everyones good wishes I am sure. Thinking of you Lady Ali n hope you okay X

Oh Dear poor thing I hope it gets sorted - the pain that is. Chin up Ali 🙂

yep thinking of her x

Update... I have been poked, prodded, x-rayed and scanned and the conclusion is fractured ribs! And before you say anything about the poking and prodding PP is was all in the best possible taste lol! On the positive side, I now have an official supply of prescription drugs so will be flying high! NB I try not to ever stop smiling it's part of my stiff upper lip!! as you can see "It's four o'clock in the morning and looks like it's going to be another sleepless night" !! singing too! Lie in for me tomorrow I need it!! Nos da all xxx

Ali, so sorry to hear about the broken ribs. At least you can say you had a cracking time at Twixmas.

Hi, I am fine, sore but fine! Snicks he did cut me in half that's why the ribs hurt so much! I was under the doctor at A&E! Actually the drugs are green and yellow sort of camo, well would you expect anything less fromt Richard the III's queen!! lol! I had a ball despite the ribs and look forward to seeing you all soon. xxxx
