Yes I know this blog week started when it was still November, but the grandchildren wanted to put up our decorations as they have for the last 17 years, however R is in the Christmas performance of Wind In the Willows at Red Rose's Avenue Theatre which runs almost every day in December plus she's rehearsing for two other performances, so last weekend was her only opportunity.
R and O started by sorting and building the big tree.
O and Hubby then did the lights.
Then R dressed it beautifully.
Hubby and I were already married with two young-adult children when my great-nephewD was born. As a small boy he'd come for sleepovers like his mum used to many years before. This week together with his 'nearly'husbandK they invited us over to their home. Actually their second home together but my health issues and then covid kept getting in the way but we got there eventually. Both so hospitable and D had prepared lunch and dinner and had cakes and biscuits ready and he was up making constant tea. D gives the very best hugs too. A really lovely day.
Having helped daughter prepare and paint all her hallway, this week Hubby has been removing carpet and getting it to the tip, then laying laminate flooring. Looks really good.
I've still some cards to write (as I ran out and needed to buy some more) and more gifts to buy and just a couple of weeks left, so best get a wriggle on!
See you next week.

We get our winter and Chrimbo things up early just because it's cheerier. Tho M said he feels the kitchen isn't yet done (he's right) but I've run out of oomph! We have new Bruce (the Spruce) lights this year as last year noticed more lights on the string we put up weren't working than were!
C&I are coming over to see Wind in the Willows on evening of 29th - would be lovely to see you at some point that day if you're free and can liaise with E. xx
Definitely liaising for the 29th, fingers crossed 🤞
