Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Isn'’t this lovely? Yesterday, on our way back from Cornerstones, we stopped off in Fenland to meet a blogfriend. We had such a lovely time with Morgan and her family. Their half term project is making Christmas Decorations – and I feel very honoured to have been presented with one. I love the way that half the star is covered with sparkly gauze ribbon and the other half has been embroidered with more little stars.

We also received this pot of Courgette Chutney – which will be great with cold meats and cheese.

I have met quite a number of blogfriends [and some of their families] now – and I do have to say it has always been a positive experience- somehow you feel you know each other already and it is so easy to chat about the things that you share in common.

Thanks M and co for making us so welcome.

We came through the storm unscathed – Bob’s replacement fencing appeared to be standing up well to the weather when we left Norfolk. and got home safely. Liz ,Steph and their blokes had transport problems in London, but nothing worse. My thoughts and prayers are with all those who have suffered damage and disruption.

  2. the ladies who wrote Twinkle Twinkle lived in our local town of Colchester and said Colchester was also responsible for Humpty Dumpty, a cannon not an egg.

  8. I think the very best Christmas Tree Decs are the ones that remind you of a friend or family or an event.
