Festive family time

Yesterday, Boxing Day, would have been my Uncle Bill’s 85th birthday. He was such a good and pleasant man. We had lunch at Abigail and Graham’s with Janie, Julie and Robert and we raised a toast to him. It’s nice that Davie, Chanel and Ally can spend time with my wider family and we had a really fun afternoon. The age difference between me and Janie and Julie seems less and less as the years go by and they are excellent company. 
We watched the new Wallace and Gromit film in the evening with Ally. I have never watched any of the previous ones, I just never fancied them, but I found it to be ok. It’s a much loved animation so I must be missing something. 
Today we went to Alex’s funeral. It was a good and very fond service for a much loved man, and I felt sad for Heidi and the family. Later we watched Gavin and Stacey: The Finale which was brilliant and a fitting end to the series. The day ended with James and Ally drinking whisky and us all chatting; I enjoy this quiet time of year.
