it will be a better place for all classes to live. New Year's day has been cold and blustery and we haven't done anything but the necessary chores and sit around the fire and read. Tonight we all went downt to Aunty's for tea and spent the evening. All from Stuby's were there as well as Cousin Clare & Phoebe. We spent the evening with music and playing guessing games which we always have a lot of fun at.
