Family stuff

Yesterday I finalised preparations for the arrival of the southern branch of the family for a pre+Christmas visit. Our daughter and family came to spin her brother and his family who had travelled from near London to our house

So last night we sent a delegation to go and buy fish and chips from the local chippy for dinner.

Today we got up so that we could go for a walk together. Well, I got up early.maybe I could have had an extra hour or so in bed. It was late morning by the time we all set off.

It was a beautiful day, one of the best for a walk in a long time. So we met in Greenfield and walked down to Dovestone reservoir.

The sun shone, the sky was blue and the small people walked 5 or more miles round the reservoir.it was very cold.

Eventually we headed for home where the small people made cookies and did craft activates while we prepared a family dimmer.

Presents were exchanged. Everyone was happy.

We’ll repair the whole business next Thursday, but without the southern branch of the family.

Normal blog service might be resumed tomorrow.

Life goes on. Stay safe and well, everyone!
