Seems ages since we had a quiet corner bolt hole, so how about a new seasonal one ?
Just a little spot to come and visit from time to time and re-charge batteries. Nothing heavy or serious ever happens in here, it's a place for bantering and smiling.
If it's a Grotto, maybe a few twinkly lights over the entrance? Plenty of squishy sofas for relaxing. I've left a plate of mince pies on the table and a flask of hot chocolate, so help yourselves.
Does anyone have any nice scented candles?
Just popping my head around the door to see you lot lolling around - there may be too much alcohol, I've seen many mentions! Good news about the champers Movedalot, a justification finally.
Notso I was the Angel Gabriel when I was six, I peaked early! I had the proper Biblical text to recite though, not Mary, Mary, I know it must be scary 
Back to my list - sigh
I WOULD have a mince pie but I see they've disappeared! Good job I called at Greggs for a hot turkey and stuffing barm cake!
We could do with a few buckets of snow for that authentic touch. Greatnan? Can you oblige. A few icicles would be nice, too
I've set up an ice rink outside the grotto, if anyone fancies their chances? Skating boots are hung up ready - all sizes. Help yourself germolene and bandages on the shelf!
Yes, pine trees Greatnan - they smell lovely!
Whose feet are those, poking out from under that mound of snow?
Notsogrand Rats! Outed 
(although not so sure age wise!!)
My youngest daughter phoned yesterday and was telling me she'd spent £34 in Hobbycraft to make a Christmas hat - her company is having a competition. She was ever so proud, it's BIG, a complete festive house apparently. I told her I dreaded to think what sort of Mother she'd be, come the Nativity play season..she said she'd be investigating renting lambs and sourcing tea towels from Bethlehem. She certainly doesn't get it from me
List, list
Flickety - sounds very uncomfortable!
I've just opened a box of chocolates - just testing them before bringing them into the Grotto to share out 
; can someone please tell me why in the name of * * * * * the 'menu' is printed underneath the box 
. I have chocolates all over the floor as I contort my body to read upside down!
Gally it's simple - you cram all the chocolates in your mouth, then turn the box over to see what you're eating!
Does anyone know if a bottle of Calvados I opened last Christmas will still be ok this year? Better try it before I pass it round...
a bet all yous are canny served now .all bring some sherry and more mince pies .dont fall a sleep untill i get there
Hello... what's that delicious smell? Oh thank you, Butty - don't mind if I do. (yawns...) I've just woken up from forty winks - dropped off in this comfortable corner of the squashy sofa. What's that? No, no I don't snore. 'twasn't me...
Think it might have been me snoring, anno! Or perhaps we were in concert? Maybe just a little Calvados, just to help when out, you know. Butty - any of those oranges left?
