A little hello from me, as the final day of November winds down and we prepare to move into the last month of the year.
I haven’t posted here on a Friday, as I usually do, for a couple of weeks now and I have missed that, but life has been busier than usual {you know…I know you do} with my dad staying with us after his operation {he is doing great} and preparing for Christmas.
I will enter December with a heaviness in my heart, this Christmas will be the first in 47 years without my mum, but I know she would not want us all to have a miserable time. I have the most wonderful memories of Christmas’ past and my mum just loved the house full at this time of year. She would not want us to be sad, so we will do our best, raise a glass to her and enjoy the day as if she were with us {she will be with us}.
We purchased our Christmas tree at the weekend, it’s a lovely little thing; just the right size and has been decorated simply with lights and special ornaments. I love sitting in the lounge in the evening and watching the lights twinkle…balm for the soul.
Today saw the beginning of Just Five Things from Michelle, a wonderful, grounding and glorious ten days of lists, words and general loveliness…I am going to savour it.
I do hope you are well, how are your Christmas plans going? Do you have your tree? I’d love to know.
Have a great week x
