Christmas & New Year



Dec 24th 2007


Chrismas morning was spent cleaning up glass from the night before , Dean had dropped the house key in the chassey of Nik and Ange's car on the way home the night before and there was no way we could get it, so out came the Axe to the back door window!


We then opened presents and spoke to my mum and dad over the web cam and turned the horses out. Lunch was at 1.30pm at the Jenny Wren, we had reserved the table next to the coal fire.


The Jenny Wren


We stayed till around 5.30pm had plenty of Drinks before we set off on our walk home. We then had to bring the horses in. Christmas night we vegged on the sofa!
The rest of the break from work was spent chilling out, riding or Shopping!

New Years Eve

This was spent in Leeds at Chino Latino's, we had a set menu for dinner which was out of this world, 52 hour cooked pork cheek! it just melted!! After dinner the resturaunt was changed into a dance floor as the Hotel where Chino's is was having a party which was on three different floors, the music was different in each room. we spent most of our time in the 80's room! We partied till 2.45am !






About Chino's

Mega-trendy, multiple award-winning place-to-be that has perfected the art of grown-up cosmopolitan dining (and drinking). Housed in the luxurious Plaza Hotel in Leeds City Square, Chino Latino is model of modernity, with its glossy crimson, gunmetal grey and cream décor, Latino cocktail bar, and stunning Japanese-leaning, Pan Asian menu. Black cod and miso nod to head chef Shinji Nakamura’s days at Nobu. First rate sushi, sashimi and signature dishes; most made for sharing. Staff are very friendly – just like the crowd. The place to go when you want a decent layed back drink in Clubby surroundings






Here are a few of our snaps!

Terrible I know that one (Sorry Dean)

Santa came to the Jenny Wren

16th December 2007



Santa came to the Jenny Wren Susworth.



he was due at 4.30pm but as we looked out the window he was no where to be found, Ellie and I continued to look, there was an aeroplane, maybe the rein deers were on strike? Then the lights went out and there he was on the Trent bank with his torch Rudolf's nose wasn't bright enough! LOL ! he had brought presents well should I say his SACK was full.




Sharon was the first up to receive a present(Dean and I had been naughty, it was suppose to be for kids) Santa wanted to give Sharon more than her present!








Ellie was up next, bless her she was poorly but she still had a smile for the camera, Emma was put on Santa's knee as she was only little!








Then it was Keith, now that was a sight, but Dean had been even more naughty, I didnt know but he had given Santa a present for me so I had to sit on his knee too! Santa tried to put his hand up the rip in my jeans to see how far he could get, I noticed he was a little intoxicated. It was a good day though every one had lots of fun aswell as the kids!

Scotterwood house update. Dec 07

Scotterwood house update.


Well the house is no where finished and it was touch and go to see if we could get it done for Christmas, the floors are now down and the doors are hung all there is to do is do the skirting boards and decorate! BUT and its a big but! as Dean had originally predicted the way the floors have been put down they move and they have now got to come up in the new year, we were having under floor heating and the electricians had not fixed the backing boards down so the floor is as we now know it as a floating floor!
The decorators came to give every where a lick of paint to see us through Christmas just so we felt like we had some where nice to sit. And maybe a bit of sanity!






This is the new extention of the Utility Room, honest itits a utility room, but we have had it made so we have some where to sit when we come in from the stables.


We Bought a Green House!!




We Decided to buy a Green house, tha plan is to grow our own veg and salads, we have also kept a section of the paddock to plough over to grow some out door veg too! sounds like alot of hard work is ahead in the spring! Dean are you listening ! LOL


As you can see its flat packed, I think a lot of temper and swearing is to be had!
