Christmas Buckie

In between prepping the family Xmas dinner and cleaning the house, I came across a bottle of the infamous Buckfast tonic wine, drink of choice for the young and the desperate.

Having just taken delivery of a set of miniature monks, the rest, as they say, was history.

On a slightly different tack, I'd like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and can't wait to see who got a new camera from Santa. Happy snapping folks, happy snapping!
