Happy Christmas to all our readers

We have an idea who some of you are and are delighted that you tell us you enjoy our tales. We are still happily moored up in Jericho, Oxford. A note to friends and family who sent wonderful boxes of goodies - Pete took the train to Rugby on Monday to collect all our post and deliveries, so all is safely with us. In advance of opening, thank you all!! Yesterday we hung our lit star (snowflake) high above Bella. No it's not a sign for a manger, but a sign to travellers even so - friends looking for us on the towpath. We have been delighted to see many and today anticipate James and Jeffrey's arrival for Christmas Eve festivities this evening. They'll be back for Christmas day nosh tomorrow when we anticipated being joined for pudding by our friends on Ravenspur who have travelled down the Oxford canal from Rugby in time for Christmas. A very early text from them says they are now close!

A very merry and blessed Christmas to you all.
