Last night, we had a wonderful party with the Oxford Monkeys, who live with The Lovely Laura and Tom the Scientist, brother of Lucy.

……. and lots of party games, Vinnie the Volunteer, volunteered with Darrell to organise a brilliant pass the parcel and pin the tail on the monkey,  while Noel and I organised the festive music.

Darrell was really good with the little ones and dressed up as a Christmas Pudding, which had us all in fits of laughter.

We managed to get quite a few pictures taken for our photo album.

But the Oxford Monkeys are a lively bunch and keeping them still for very long was nigh on impossible ….

Darrell promised them one more picture and we’d be done ……..

Happy New Year is a bit premature for me - it is almost 6.45pm on 31st Dec. There was a huge number of monkeys - a veritable troop.
