Yesterday I was part of an office Christmas party for those who work alone from home. A delightful crowd of lovely people booked in. 

 I invited anyone and everyone in the village I live to join me for lunch. What made it so easy was that I didn’t do any of the cooking, rather I asked the local pub to host us and Ian and Terry the owners of the Crown and Cushion did a superb Indonesian buffet that I had agreed with them before hand. 

It was a wonderful opportunity to meet new people in the community and to celebrate Christmas! 

The only thing I provided were some crackers and nativity beer mats. 

It was a real worthwhile thing to do.
