Victorian Christmas

Decorating biscuits
Tasting real mince pies, made Victorian style with mince meat.

Playing with Victorian toys on the comfy rag rug.
Making Victorian Christmas cards.
Meanwhile outside, a fire had been started in the bushes...
Santa to the rescue!
And Santa taking note of the naughty boys and girls who started the fire, I'm sure their stockings will have been empty this Christmas.
Bring on Fireman Sam.

Poem about Nanan

We wrote this poem together for Nanan's birthday...

You make my day,
Parish church, cups of tea,
Newspaper and bargains,
Knocking on the window,
Bulging bag of goodies,
Cup of tea,
vitamin tablets and vests,
countdown at ten past four,
very very kind,
Hash, auntie bessies and relish,
"mark my words" it'll snow next week)
Love.

First of December

We thought we'd had lots of snow at the start of the week and then on the first of December, it really did snow, and snow and snow...
