Having got rid of one lot of visitors yesterday and preparing for another onslaught on Friday - only overnight thank heavens - I am sitting surrounded by lists and trying to get organised for the family who are coming for 5 days at Christmas.
I've ordered the turkey and I've been stocking up for weeks with non-perishables, but there is no getting around the shopping for all the fresh dairy, fruit, veg, bread and so on. These are items I like to choose myself so online or ordering from a local shop isn't for me.
The BBC claims that 36 per cent of people plan to do a big shop on Monday, some even taking the day off work. Am I mad to think of setting my alarm clock for 6 am on Tuesday and going then?
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
Well Labour’s “patriotism” didn’t last very long, did it? 🇬🇧
