 _.Fog, but passable. Up at 9:30. Ate, then packed, and left for Winchester at 12. A dull journey on the M1 thanks to the fog. Stopped at 2 at the Crossroads Motel at Weedon, Northamptonshire, for scampi and chips and lager. Then back on the road south. We are in holiday spirits - no work for one week, and it was so good to see Ally's glee as she neared her parents home. 

Arrived at Chillandham Cross at 5. Presented Bessie with her flower painting and it seemed to go down well. Bessie was pale, complaining of dizzy spells. Frank, fatter, blamed his increased girth on the Christmas fayre [Graham and Gill came for Christmas dinner].

At 8 the Lynn family came for Christmas drinks. The Rev Matthew and Florence Lynn. Bed at 12 feeling groggy. Sore throat.
