I apologise for a bit of a belated greeting. It's just that the last few days of festive merriment have passed the Harris household by I'm afraid to relate. We were all struck down by the dreaded 'flu, with the exception of Sophie, with the result that the turkey is in the freezer, the boxes of chocolates have gone unopened and not a drop of alcohol has been consumed for almost two weeks! So, I suppose there was an upside to being confined to bed when everyone else was partying!
The other good thing was that we watched dozens of old movies on TV. Sophie nad I saw Thunderbirds are go! together and we both loved it. Of course Gerry Anderson is this month's interviewee and it was great to watch the film that he created. It may be 40 years old but it was so technologically advanced. I noted that one of the advisers was none other than the astronaut John Glen! Of course Cliff Richard and The Shadows featured in it, too!
We also saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - it featured in our December issue. It was great location spotting during that one, too. Turville, Russell's Water etc. Earlier in the day it was Goodnight Mister Tom as well. The Chilterns had a lot of exposure that day!
Anyway we'll all be back to normal on Monday - just in time to start work/school again!
Happy New Year!
