Followed by a visit to Charlecote Park which was very festive.
Roman has been waiting for MONTHS and carrying his light sabre around with him all day....................
.........tonight we went to see the new "Star Wars" film. It was OK (am not a sci fi fan) but Mark, Anais and Roman LOVED it. Roman retold the plot to me in the car on the way home so it made more sense re who was Darth Vader and his son and the "goodies" and "baddies"!
