Festive Feasting with Friends........

 
Starting the week with a smile. I was bought an orchid last August and only recently all its blooms fell off, now suddenly it's blooming again. 
I'm always confused by this cactus that can't decide if it's an Easter cactus or a Christmas cactus. A lovely healthy plant but it only ever has one or two flowers at any old time of the year but none now. 

Thankfully I'm feeling a lot more comfortable this week, not totally fine but OK to take on the very festive week in our calender. 

Monday was our noisy coffee morning of course. 

Tuesday we should have been out at a late lunch meeting two couples in Chelmsford. Sadly friendL phoned in sick so her and husbandK couldn't come. Then friendsL&M decided we should postpone till January, so I cancelled our pub booking. 
Hubby and I took the rare opportunity to go round Tesco together. I just  about survived physically and we were pleased to have done so much with only the fresh stuff with short dates to get next week. Not sure Hubby would survive me shopping with him too often hahaha. 

Wednesday the usual gang booked the festive menu at the pub and it was all really good. 

Thursday the old work team gathered. Even after more than 15 years it's still my job to arrange things. We now prefer to have a lunch event rather than evening but it's still a full three course pig out. Mmmmmm 
Oops, you can now see I wore the same jumper both days, hahaha. 

With just a few days before the main event I'll wish you and all your families the happiest and healthiest festive season. 
And this year both religions can party together. 
In this family we always do!!! ❤
