Hello.

[00:00:09.810] - Taylor
Hello.

[00:00:10.320] - Gordon
My name's Gordon from Drayson Design.

[00:00:12.000] - Taylor
And I'm Taylor, from the Creative Tinker.

[00:00:14.330] - Gordon
And welcome to our very unusual but Christmassy edition of "This Week with Taylor and Gordon." We didn't do an episode last week, mainly because both of us were incredibly busy, just sort of tying up loose ends before the Christmas break. And here we are. We are starting to slow down now.

[00:00:35.470] - Taylor
Wind down for Christmas in two days.

[00:00:38.730] - Gordon
Yeah, I know. Are you all ready? I think I am, just about. We got our tree up anyway, so that's a good start. So, anything in particular you want to say about this year?

[00:00:50.770] - Taylor
I think there's been ups and downs and we've missed, I think, more than we would like to have, but people get busy. I've been quite ill, which hopefully in the new year going forward, we hopefully won't be missing as many due to me not feeling well. But overall, I'm happy I think. Again, we've come further than we probably thought when we first started back in 2020. So, yeah, it's good. I enjoy it.

[00:01:21.850] - Gordon
Yeah, it's been a phenomenal year for me, for magic, compared to the last few years in particular, it's been very good. But also for the last sort of 15 years or so, this has been my best year ever. Although, my December has been down from what it normally is, so go figure. That doesn't make sense to me, because December is normally my busiest time, so that's very strange. Yeah, we've had lots of things going on this year, both in the world and also in our own lives, but we are very grateful to be here together with all our family. They're coming in two days on Christmas Day. They're spending Christmas with us here today, this year. So that will be my mum, my dad, my uncle, which we don't see very often, my sister, my niece, and of course...

[00:02:17.340] - Taylor
The dogs.

[00:02:18.000] - Gordon
The dogs, yeah.

[00:02:19.470] - Taylor
Many dogs.

[00:02:21.470] - Gordon
Yes. Gosh, I'd forgotten we've got all them coming. Four dogs, yeah. Wow. It's going to be a busy house. So we hope that your Christmas is everything you want it to be. We wish you all the best for your time with family and friends. If you don't celebrate Christmas, well it's a nice, quiet time to get on with stuff. We will see you... Are we going to do one next week? Sort of in the middle, yeah. Okay. So we might do one between Christmas and New Year, depending on if we've got anything to say really, because I realise we won't be doing a great deal, but we might have something to say.

[00:03:05.850] - Taylor
Eating lots, drinking lots, opening lots.

[00:03:05.850] - Gordon
Yeah, probably. Yeah, but people are going to be doing that themselves. They don't need us to talk to them about that. So, yes, we will...

[00:03:14.750] - Taylor
See you soon and with...

[00:03:15.940] - Gordon
See you soon.

[00:03:16.610] - Taylor
The new rebuild, if we don't have one before.

[00:03:20.450] - Gordon
Yes, that's not quite finished, but we are hoping that January the first it will go live, or at least on the first episode of 2023, which is next year. Sounds a lot further away when you say that. So have a lovely time, everyone. As always, you can like, share and subscribe all of our videos. Go back and have a look at some of the ones you might have missed because I think you'll find there's a lot of content in there. We're on YouTube and on Facebook.

[00:03:50.970] - Taylor
You can also go to our website thisweekwith.co.uk to find all of our past episodes. And if you have the Christmas Blues where we haven't uploaded a proper episode, go back and find one that we have talked about before.

[00:04:06.160] - Gordon
Yes. So thank you very much for joining us. We will see you 1p.m. next Friday for our "Between Christmas and New Year" episode, and then we're into the New Year. So until then, my name's Gordon, I'm from Drayson Design.

[00:04:19.360] - Taylor
And I'm Taylor from The Creative Tinker.

[00:04:21.820] - Gordon
Goodbye.

[00:04:22.370] - Taylor
Bye.
