Well it’s a new year! The Brenchley’s had an exciting Christmas! We figured that we had guests or visitors from December 15th though the 1st. It was great to see so many family and friends including Jack’s sister Deb and her new husband Rich as well as Gail’s dad and his wife and mother-in-law. We also extended Christmas over a number of days by doling out presents to the kids over a long period of time. I don’t know if we actually got to the twelve days of Christmas.

Almost all of Christmas is packed up now and ready to be hoisted back into the loft.

Ebb and Flow had babies very close to Christmas! We now have a male and female named Flotsam and Jetsam!

We’ve had 27 straight days of rain (or measurable rain). No one is stir-crazy yet – at least not more than normal.
