Villagers wander in and out of the Salle des Fetes all day busily cleaning up after the New Years celebrations . The man with anger management issues returns from his skiing holiday around four. He finds his decapitated privet hedge. There is ' bellowing '. Madame Bay can be expected to fill us in with the latest details later today.
Apart from that the village is quiet. Angus and Sophie walk down to the storm drain to discuss the year ahead. The situation in North Korea and Iran seems not to have worked out well. Sophie wonders if anyone else has any better ideas.She glares at the donkeys.
No doubting that the family princess is shaping the daily routine at The Rickety Old Farmhouse. From being a little sister she is quickly transitioning into an independent lady who is not shy about letting her feelings be known.
Training her family is a lengthy process that sometimes requires a short sharp salutary yelp of exasperation to gain their attention. This is otherwise known as the ' Let there be Jaffa Cakes !' yelp.

I've often wondered how Sophie gets up onto your outdoor table. Has she trained you to help her up or can she get up there by herself?
The ramp has a multitude of uses which is just as well as Angus is still prohibited from lifting anything over 10 lbs in weight.
The weather looks good at your place. I took a quiet walk today too.
We have high hopes for a vivid account of the hedge issue from Mme Bay.
Best wishes for 2020 to the irrepressible Sophie and her family. May there be unlimited cakes for all! From a family being trained by a Westie called Phoebe on the east coast of Canada.
Inca would like to know exactly how a "Let there be Jaffa cakes" yelp sounds. She would like to be yelp perfect for when we have workmen visiting the house.
Sophie looks so beautiful.

Having sunk into my sick bed on Hogmanay, am only emerging now to do the rounds of greetings for 2020. It can only get better. Surely... (optimistic even in the midst of misery!) YAM xx
Poor you. Heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery ! Jaffa Cakes might ( or might not ) be in order.
Looks - when it comes to mischief - can be deceptive.
Just pitch the yelp at a level that can cut through concrete.
The weather is wonderful. Madame Bay says it can't last.

As Madame Bay and the man with anger management issues don't get along I'm sure we shall get more details that we could ever have imagined.
A decade of Jaffa Cakes beckons.
... oh yes... but lacking those I may attack the supply of German choclate covered kuchen things that arrived at Christmas...
