I'm delighted you have continued the Doyle family sagas - I did enjoy last year's stories, and this one continues the story so well - and room for further developments yet, she says hopefully!?!
The description of Bodie choking on his whisky made me laugh out loud, and this left me with a lovely Christmassy glow! Thank you for your part of the Christmas fest and have a lovely birthday!
By the way, I hope you don't mind but I have friended you - your journal does say that's ok but just checking!
