We saw “IBM Father Christmas” yesterday. Yes, that’s his name. He brings presents to all of the boys and girls of IBM parents, then he goes off to help the normal Father Christmas, apparently. He also provides a magic show, disco, face painter and card making station. He’s pretty amazing.
On Friday night, IBM Father Christmas visited the IBM Clubhouse. He’s not THE Father Christmas, he’s special. We wandered through his magical grotto after checking in with his elves. The Christmas village was beautiful. Every year I vow to start one of our own. We met the jolly man, who gave us a mosaic…
Nearly three whole months after the actual event, and I am finally getting around to uploading the photos of our trip to the patch onto our blog. I’m so behind. Sickness, Christmas plotting and then Christmas fun took over the majority of the cells that are still able to function well in my poor brain…
There’s no doubt that Autumn has arrived here in the South, clad in rich jewel toned sweaters and crisp leafy trousers.

Our living room bookcases are currently completely overrun with advent calendars at the moment, with three very excited little boys waiting to see if anything can possibly be as exciting as opening a chocolate advent calendar door every morning. This year we decided to invest in a few, non-chocolate advent calendars, and we were sent…
