St. Stephen’s Day

I could of course put Boxing Day for the title! First of all I hope all of you had a good Christmas although it was probably different to what you normally do! We had a surprisingly social one meeting friends for a walk on Selsey Common and then joining neighbours on the street. We even managed a ride!

Disappointed with my football’s team’s lacklustre first half today-on to Tuesday!

I promised a picture from my story Pig the Legend drawn by Jane Fryer so look at it below. Should get you guessing about the story! I think it is unlikely I will write much more about the book until I have firm details but I was excited by the news so wanted to share something.

A Boxing Day Quiz (I think I will go for three quizzes a week because we are now Tier 3!)

a) What bird was traditionally hunted on St. Stephen’s Day?(-the answer will surprise you if you don’t know)  b) Who looked out on the Feast of Stephen?   c) Why is it called Boxing Day?  (Pepys mentions why!)  d) Where is the traditional Boxing Day Test match famously held?  e) What do they call the 26th December in South Africa?
