We are not going away at Christmas, as we have a big wedding to attend on the 29th of this month. Mum is quite jealous of her friend who is travelling to the US on New year’s Eve. Apparently she is also going to see some Wilmington NC real estate at the same time so Mum – who has a kind of house addiction – is double jealous. At least she will get to spend time with little old me, I hope that makes up for the disappointment
