Christmas Holiday Fun



We had a great time attending the Millennium Theatre in Cardiff to see Mary Poppins. It was a fabulous production. 




We went out to dinner at Wagamama after the show. 

We also met up with the Jensens after Christmas to see a Pantomime of Rapunzel. It was great fun. 


Dinner appointments with members are always a great time. 

With the Pengilley's

With Pam and Julie at the Upper Boat Carvery.


At David and Katy Turner's for Christmas Eve






At Kris Smith's for a Hobo foil dinner.

This was my favorite Charity Shop find this year!



Our friend David made a birthday card for Jesus to celebrate his birth. 

Ponty city centre lit up for Christmas.


I love the light pole decor. 

Whitchurch round a bout coming back to our flat. 




I like these Christmas trees stuck in flag anchors outside of flats. 

Festive window decor on a member's window. 




Local mailbox decorated for the holidays!



Even the squirrel bench got into the Christmas spirit!
