After a lovely; but quiet few days, Daughter Pegs & I went out and about on Friday. The weather is still more appropriate for ducks; but we braved it and went to Totnes (One of my FAVOURITE shopping haunts) Unfortunately lots of the shops were shut! We did however share a lovely brunch in our favourite cafe, and mooched around the individual shops that were open.
We then went to my friends for a natter & cake (you truly can never eat too much cake ;) Pegs loves seeing her friend Origami boy & I enjoy putting the world to rights with Em *she of 'Dartmoor ramblings'
In the evening we went for supper with friends. Pegs spent most of the evening trying on a huge bagful of clothes from their 'big girl' and chasing their ginger kitten about the place-We did try stealing said kitten; but at the last minute it was decided by Mr Crow that we best leave it there...!
Today we had a lovely drive over the moors towards Ashburton, It is decidely wet, and lots of local rivers have burst their banks. It took Mr Crow back to his younger days as a kayaker! We then descended on friends for an 'Afternoon of fun & Games' We ended up playing Snakes & Ladders, and Tiddlywinks! The girls thought we were mad!
This evening I have decided that the tree has had enough. We have more twig left than tree, so with sadness we have de-decorated it, and put it outdoors!
Why is it Christmas goes so quickly; but takes ages to arrive?
I am going to attempt to tidy the spare room tomorrow, so that on Monday I can actually get some sewing done...Watch this space
Much love, Jopsy
The photo looks great. You can always come round and see our tree but it'll be gone after new year's eve! Origami Boy would love to see those spare rooms - you know what he's like....x
ReplyDeleteMy photo is still a bit big; but I'm getting there :)
ReplyDeleteThe tree is currently residing next to the garage-with the wind outdoors it may well have blown away by morning!
You know those upstairs rooms are not for guests to see! (I do despair...!)
