Merry Christmas everyone. Seems a strange thing to say but Turkey and Tinsel is all about the festivities over 4 days. So today is Christmas day and a visit from Santa was forthcoming after breakfast this morning.

| And Ians been very very good too๐ |
I should mention the bathtime tales and you will be pleased to here (or maybe slightly disappointed) that I didn't get stuck as I managed to heave myself out (after getting into positions I never knew I could, sideways on, bottom on the side and slither toward the top, I was that determined you see) and didn't need the help from 'My Man that Can' ๐ That hot soak was heaven and from now on until we leave on Friday, this will be my morning ritual and you never know I might even have perfected the art of getting out. ๐
I must just mention the meals. 6 courses, which one would think a bloated feeling would be the norm after all that food. Not so as this is an A-La-Carte menu with big plates and small portions. Fine dining at its best. The usual starters, main meal and dessert with two appetisers in between (a tiny cup of soup and a raspberry coulis to cleanse the pallet) followed by coffee and a macaron. With Christmas dinner tonight I'm wondering just how big a portion of Turkey and trimmings we will get. A photo will appear in tomorrows post.
Today we went to Exeter. A Christmas market was on, great if you are into that sort of thing (which were not) so instead, we walked to the Exeter Canal the earliest working ship canal to be built and oldest canal in the UK.

| This Swan was being a right nuisance. Did not want anyone near to the stall giving a hefty peck to all and sundry! |
And seen at the canal,

I had a problem getting out of the bath due to arthritis and was told to try this, turn round in the bath so that you are on your knees, hold the sides of the bath and then stand up, it works for me so I hope it helps.
Thanks Little Nan. I'm going to give that a go tomorrow. Xx
Lovely to see our local canal on someone else's blog!
Happy Christmas

Didn't know you hailed from this part of the country. Seeing that narrowboat was quite a surprise. So the question is: Have you ever cruised it on Chuffed? Anyway, Have a really great Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both. Xxx
ha ha! we'd need a trailboat to cruise here, though I was once once of the teachers on a school activity with canoes! great fun. I don't remember seeing a narrowboat on the Exeter canal before, I'll have to get down there and check it out. If you come down in the motor home do make a point of visiting the Grand Western (Tiverton) canal too.
