Fun And Feasting

 On Monday evening we visited the Christmas Lights in Hethersett, where a whole community lights up in support of Finnbar's Force, a charity working in Norfolk by those affected by childhood cancer.

It was beautiful, and thoughtfully  organised - not too much walking [Which Bob and Jess appreciated] There were little fox lights in some gardens - Rosie counted 15. A wishing well for cash donations, as well as an online site - and a Santa Sleigh for family photo ops.

We went relatively early, had supper on the way back in McDo's, and home in time for Quizzy Monday on TV.

Tuesday began with a coffee date in Downham Market, meeting up with Bob's sister, her husband and his mum. Back for lunchtime Christmas Nibbles with friends, then onto the Hospice for Carol Singing. Home to prepare food for Christmas Day.

After Zoom Church, we worked in the kitchen till family arrived. Lunch was very successful [Bob in charge, I was sous chef]

Then R&J sang Happy Birthday

To Jesus, and blew out the candle on his cake!

You may remember last year I knitted 4 Safari jumpers, for three grandchildren, and one great-nephew. This year I used the leftover wool to knit Rosie a horse jumper for Christmas. She absolutely loves it!

Boxing Day we went out to Horsey on the coast. We put up the third row of seats [aka The Granny Annexe] in the Kodiaq. Rosie was delighted to sit with me on her booster seat. We saw lots of seals and their pups [well over 100] and had a picnic in the car

On the way home,we were enthralled to watch a family of ducks crossing the road, and pleased that the driver in front had stopped to let them pass. 

Today will be quieter. It is Friday, so Bob is going to do pastoral work at the Hospice. I am going to make a Christmas Pie, and soup, with leftovers - and mend two winter coats for R&J.

I hope your Christmas time has been full of love, however you have spent it. 

I know that for quite a few of you there has been sadness of one sort or other, or health issues in your family. Know that you are loved, and you are not forgotten.The Light continues to shine in the darkness- and the darkness will never overcome it.
