Ay Up Me Duck!**

Boxing Day began with Church [well, it is Sunday!] We dismantled the paper chains we had made  in yesterdays service  and  we each got a section containing a task or two which would be an Act Of Random Kindness, or a Reminder Of Gods Goodness.

My two links said Look Up At the Stars and Take Cakes To Colleagues At Work

I shall do #1 whilst at Cornerstones, and #2 when term starts again.

Back home for lunch. Bob is now Officially On Holiday, so he cooked two superb curries [a veg one and a turkey one]

I filled the pavlova I had prepared earlier with some cherries and raspberries from the freezer.

Then we went for a walk in Abbey Park.[One of Bobs paper chains said Go for a walk]

It was like Walking In a Winter Wonderland. The river and boating lake were frozen.the ducks seemed very cold. The waterfowl came right up to us though [we hadn't taken any food for them though]

Back home for tea and hot buttered crumpets. Later on,  Liz and Bob made BubblenSqueak for our evening meal. Real Comfort Food!

Then we watched Upstairs, Downstairs. I am reserving judgement till I have seen all three programmes!

Looking forward to Cornerstones tomorrow but sorry to be parting from the girls, we have had such a great time together.

**Ay Up Me Duck is a popular expression in Leicestershire. According to the BBC it means Good Day Sir [or Madam]
