The enjoyable visit of Di's family playing more Cluedo and extending the table for a nice Christmas Tea with all of the children. I finished the job of putting photographs of the building of Harnser into the album this evening.
Another good night for Sam and no disturbances so that I was better rested and relaxed today than for a long time. A mixture of dog supervision and shooting this morning, bagging a single collared dove for my trouble. I took Sam in the car out to the rubbish tip to dispose of sacks of seasonal rubbish and stopped near to some guns on the way back to give Sam experience of hearing them without problems. Lunch of turkey again and then to await this afternoon's guests. Diana's mother, father, sister and brother and family.

The company had some fun, first joining in with two games of Cluedo and then playing a game of catching mice with cups. A nice Christmas Tea and, with all of the children, our fully extended kitchen table was barely big enough to sit everyone. I had started to put photographs of the building of The Harnser into the album that Daniel and Angela had bought me as a Christmas present and I finished the job this evening as Diana cleared up and then watched some evening television.
