    nice to see you David.!

    Hi locarr,

    I'm making the point that people are not one dimensional.....whether they spend all their lives in A or down the allotment doesn't always define them. They have real life too, troubles, good times etc and that old elephant in the room.....lines they will and won't cross.

    We are all different. As for me...I'm just happy with my lot in life:)

    Morning all. Hope everyone is well. Not read back so bubbs hoping your not in pain today.

    I don't think I will be seeing my dd & her bf at Christmas but we are having a mini Christmas late Nov in a barn in the Cotswolds. Nice weekend away :) I would like to get them some lovely gifts but I won't be spending all that much as I want to give her money at Christmas so she can treat herself as I have no idea about designer brands she likes lol.
    Anyway I'm doing a cosy night in hamper
    Can anyone think of anything I could add to make it extra special please. As I'm working now I would like to spoil her a bit :) xx

    Each year in the hampers I do I always print this out on nice paper and roll it up in a scroll or cracker and tie with ribbons, I use a different font each year hth

    A Visit from St. Nicholas
    BY CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE
    'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
    Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
    The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
    In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
    The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
    While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
    And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
    Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap,
    When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
    Away to the window I flew like a flash,
    Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
    The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
    Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,
    When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
    But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,
    With a little old driver so lively and quick,
    I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.
    More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
    And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
    "Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!
    On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!
    To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
    Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
    As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
    When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
    So up to the housetop the coursers they flew
    With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—
    And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
    The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
    As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
    Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
    He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
    And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
    A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
    And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.
    His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry!
    His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
    His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
    And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
    The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
    And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath;
    He had a broad face and a little round belly
    That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
    He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
    And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
    A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
    Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
    He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
    And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,
    And laying his finger aside of his nose,
    And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
    He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
    And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
    But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—
    “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

    Our roads are not flooded.... but it is dark, wet and miserable.

    Thanks god, the dog had a sleep over at her friends yesterday (to avoid the fireworks) she is too exhausted to go walking... :D:D:D So OH is putting a film on and we are going to snuggle up (Nerfy... that behave!).

    Hope your journey home is safe x
