Undressing In The Cold...

Thursday morning was lovely - both girls and their families came for coffee, then Steph and family left for Manchester, while Liz and co went off to buy food. John took a great picture of everyone

Rosie is busy with her Elf Pen. It has ten different colours. I had one of these when I was her age and I loved it. She's had a lot of fun drawing, and changing the colours.

By 11.30 the house was so quiet. It was sunny [but so cold] outside, and the wind had dropped. It didn't take too long to undress and dismantle the Nativity Tableau

Then after lunch we took all the inside decorations down. That took much longer. Everything needs to be packed away so carefully. 

Before packing them away, I completely forgot to take photos of our wonderful gifts from Julian - two gorgeous glass tree ornaments from Liberty. For Bob a coffee pot, and for me a sewing machine. Very thoughtfully chosen. I found pictures on the Internet.. We have had a great time, and we thank God for our family.

Thanks for all the lovely Christmas and New Year messages.

I'm still on the post-Xmas diet of eating up food in freezer, fridge and cupboard. Watching the wet and windy weather outside, and singing nursery rhymes with grandchildren..

How's your new year shaping up? 

What's the weather like on your neck of the woods?
