Of course, beastie!!!!
I can rustle up a holiday enclosure easily enough, though i should point out Fes is a bit chilly by Christmas and there's no central heating or even windows in most of my house.
or carpets, come to that.
Haha it's still probably warmer than over here :(
Chilly probably means 25 odd degrees?

It was quite funny actually it was the first Xmas after we lost our Mum and I stayed home to spend the day with an elderly aunt who was on her own. One of my sisters had split from her hubby and was coming here after work for lunch.
I didn't think it was too bad for a first attempt and just thought I'd dished too much up when the others left a lot on their plates.
After Xmas the one sister returned and telephoned the other and asked what the dinner was like then passed the phone to me just as she was saying "It was bl**dy awful!" I let her go on for a bit how she didn't know what I'd done to the gravy etc etc etc, then asked her if she was cooking it next year. You could have cut the silence with a knife as she realised I'd heard it all and I could feel the heat of her blushes through the phone. Good job we all have a sense of humour!!
I've not tried since as I was scared for life.
Well that's my excuse!!
:eek: oh no!!! I guess if there's anyone you could say it to its your sibling lol!

Well in December it goes to about 12°C and maybe as low as 7 at night, but that's pretty much indoors, as well as out, so it's double duvet time and warm clothes in the house.

Excuse or not, i'm sure everyone has been eternally grateful.

That would be really nice! I've never had Christmas dinner anywhere other than my granny Brodie's but my fiancé and I have a tradition on Christmas Eve where our friends come round and we have steak pie and roast potatoes and a good dessert! It's not as good as Christmas dinner itself though.
Where does your sister live?
I have them all over the place,
The two I usually go to for either Xmas or new year are just outside Newport and Leics.
