We were at a loose end one New Year’s Eve. Hugh and Adie, friends of friends, invited us to their home. Laden with panettone, Chardonnay, After Eight Mints and two children with sleeping bags, we were greeted with open arms and great hospitality. No-one throws a party like Adie does; our real Christmas angel.
