    Happy Christmas to everyone, and special thoughts for those who are suffering, whether through illness or anxiety. I hope next year is a good year for you all.

    We have been thoroughly Skyped by the children and grandchildren all morning, which has been the next best thing to being there with them.

    Hugs to Jean who has been badly affected by the awful weather in northern France but is battling on in a truly Scottish way with her family and some generators. If I know Jean, they will still be having a great time. I don't think much in life gets her down and this will be just another challenge that she will overcome with a smile and a laugh!

    Happy Christmas one and all!

    KathyXX

    Will do the update in a day or two.

    Hope you are back on soon, Jean. We had heavy winds and torrential rain but have escaped the worst by all accounts. Keep warm, dry, and safe, and have a fantastic Christmas despite the weather!

    We are all still happy tho' - talk about laughing in the face of adversity - we are it.

    Hope you all had a lovely Christmas - sending you tons of love and cuddles

    Hi Jean

    Glad you are back in touch with the rest of the world but sorry about the plumbing problems. You really do know how to make Christmas in France exciting, don't you? Hope all is back to normal asap.

    Hope everyone had a brilliant Christmas!

    jeanstill useless at putting on pictures. So sorry too you have had so many trials to deal with. I think some quiet time in the barn with your sewing machine will be needed after that lot.

    Kathyglad you escaped the storms.so glad you could Skype all your lovely family and particularly hope your Mum and sister coped with all the Christmas emotions..

    pippa
    ope things have calmed for you two. X x x

    lots of live to one and all.

    Well, what can I say the picture says it all. Christmas was to cheer for. Now we are absolutely cream crackered and found it very hard to say goodbye to our little family today.

    William was a delight,funny,cute and deliciously edible and it will be hard not seeing him for 6 months!

    Dd2 also seemed a long way way in Barcelona but kept in touch via Skype, what's Appetc.

    This is just a quick pop in as we are seriously throwing the Hoover around to distract ourselves and I must do my share!!
    Love to one and all xxxx

    what's Appetc.
    sounds like some sort of apple download perhaps to enable you to speak or keep in touch with DD2 - directly - similar to messanger, face time etc or some other sort of apple download???

    so lovely to see William having a wonderful birthday - us December babies sure do know how to party !


    We have a brand new shower installed today - I get to try it tomorrow when the joints are all safe - the pipework joints that is NOT MINE!
