Fireman Sam was a big hit

I thought I'd done quite a good job in the Father Christmas stakes (pillow up jumper, gravelly voice, gnarled hands) but needless to say, Salvador knew it was me.

He didn't even tell me straight away, preferring to humiliate me when I asked who brought his gifts 'Daddy Father Christmas' - the missing comma and tone of voice meaning that I'd been rumbled.

He seems very happy with everything and is currently organising his Welsh emergency rescue team for any eventuality that might come up.

Mum, Dad, Esther & Salvador are off to see Susan, Mike and Dan this afternoon and I'm off to work.

Happy Christmas everyone.
