Strange Festive Family Goings On .......

Yesterday we returned to “The Homeland” for family  festivities. We  passed The Castle, it looked very romantic in all its illuminated Christmas splendour and horizontal blinds ….and yes ……. though we didn’t have time to stop, Motorworld is no longer boarded up and is open again, and in so doing shall henceforth be known as Nigel’s Christmas Miracle!
family party games 2016But I digress, we had crossed the counties to party and we had been charged with finding the prizes for the “Festive Tut Sack” ……. There was a quiz on all the funny things that Granddad Colin used to say, we had to transfer mini marshmallows from one plate to another with chopsticks, transmit messages to our partner whilst wearing gum shields …….. and then, Nigel’s particular favourite …….

balloons in stockings……… both partners had to blow up ten balloons between them, then insert five of said balloons into each leg of a pair of ladies tights ……
IMG_0003……. the winning team being the first to put the balloon filled tights on one of their heads …..
balloons in stockings gameAfter that, I can’t remember much ……..
geddes family christmas 2016…….. Darrell disappeared under the table and I didn’t see him again until someone called us a taxi.  Let’s just say this morning we all appear to have very delicate heads, I am putting this down to  the sudden change of the water on our systems.  Next time we come visit, I will have to remember to fill a couple of bottles with Evesham water so that we can acclimatise ourselves to, what are now foreign climes, a little more gently!

Who had the dodgy idea of balloons in tights on your head?
Good clean fun for all the family?

Sounds like you all had great fun, perhaps too much Um Bongo along with all the excitement?! Great news about Motorworld though.

Yes, I HIGHLY recommend bottles of water carried around one's personage at all times, being dehydrated in strange places is not fun at all. Stranger still when one sees grown adults with balloons on top of their heads. JantheFan x

The Yuletide Festivities just keep coming! MotorWorld's Nigel miracle is very special and should be celebrated each Christmas season......great fun for all and did wonder about the bag of tut gifts that always guaranteed a Christmas good time; nice to see it is in full force!....always wise to be aware of the water situation when traveling to foreign climes.......May the Happy Christmas holidays continue!.....Love from Dianne
