Good morning from s somerset, very windy today

Up early, I wanted to relax before my drive through Monmouth, I don`t like the motorways and don`t like headlight glare. I am packed and ready and will be popping sunglasses on my head before leaving. Today I am going to take a visor for the first time, it may well help with the low sun

Have a good Christmas

Happy Christmas Mick and all who follow.
Up soon to start preparing for the day. 8 adults and no children so fairly easy!

Wishing you all a happy, peaceful day whatever you are doing.

Good morning and a Happy Christmas Mick and everyone.
I'm also lying in bed waiting for my grandchildren to surface. They're not children now, but Santa still kindly leaves them a pile of gifts.
I will enjoy a cup of coffee while we open presents.
Just the five of us today. I'm at my daughter and son in law's home.
I've just heard someone going down stairs so I'd better get ready to follow soon.
My thoughts are very much with those who are finding life difficult.
Wishing you wonderful moments to brighten your day.

Good morning from Malta where a sunny day is forecast with a high of 19°C.

Had a lovely outing with DD3 and the boys yesterday. We took them to the most lovely play place which had various different set ups for them. One room was a miniature supermarket where they could push their trolleys around to do their shopping, then they could try the check out complete with conveyor belt. There was a doctor’s office, a vets (complete with soft toy pets), a restaurant, a building site with all construction vehicles, a post office, fire engine, train, police car, theatre with dressing up clothes. It really was lovely.

The best bit was the cafe where us oldies could sit and watch the little ones whilst enjoying a hot chocolate and a mince pie.

This morning I will go to Mass after which over to DD3 and co for lunch.

Safe travels karma and anyone else on the move.

Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and a happy New Year.🎄

Good morning and a very happy Christmas to you all 🎄
It’s dry and just about above freezing here, I’m snug in bed with my coffee.
Yesterday we had a lovely dog walk around the village on bridleways and across fields, it was a bitterly cold wind. I didn’t mind but DH wasn’t happy. I hope we’ll have another good walk today.
A quiet day ahead, I will enjoy the peace and am looking forward to our Christmas dinner later, three bird roast 😋
I hope that the day goes well for you all x

A very happy Christmas to you all .

Christmas can be such a stressful time.

I’ve been awake for a couple of hours , mind working overtime. There is so much pressure on having the perfect day . It’s silly really.

I think it stems from trying to make a magical perfect day when my children were small.

I did remind my daughter about the times when she was single and living at home and clubbing.
I used to fetch her from town after a Christmas Eve night out in the early hours of Christmas Day so I knew she would be safe getting home. Then a full day of hosting.
I don’t know how I did it!

I suppose I was a lot younger then.

I hope we all have a good day and my thoughts are with those that are struggling todayflowers

Good morning and a very Happy Christmas to you all from cold Somerset!

A dog walk after a quick breakfast is planned (not soon - please!) followed by brunch, Bucks Fizz and presents.🎁
I sympathise about the low sun Karma - the last 45 minutes or so of my drive down yesterday- basically Stonehenge to Crewkerne were facing into the sun especially the last wind-y bit I was often driving with one hand shielding my eyes
Kind thoughts to you all for a happy day- quiet or full of DGCs and especially for those in pain or distress. 🎄

Good morning from Glasgow where it’s dark and dry.

No sounds yet from the children, I’m sure it won’t be long before they surface.

We will do gifts and breakfast here then head to Edinburgh to spend the rest of the day with DS and his family.

Happy Christmas everyone, may your day bring you reasons to smile.

Morning Mick, morning All. Christmas wishes to everyone from a cold, windy corner of Somerset. Safe travels to all on the move.

Good morning and Happy Christmas from the NE.
Seven of us for dinner and then a musical evening, piano and various other instruments.

Good morning and a very merry Christmas to everyone!

Family are all here and not really stirring yet. I am sitting downstairs with the dogs, a mug of tea and a mince pie, enjoying being first up.

A lovely Swedish Christmas Eve meal last night and the first bottle of fizz cracked open!

Wishing all a lovely Christmas Day! tchsmiletchsmile

Good morning from West Oxfordshire and Happy Christmas to all.
Hope everyone has a happy and peaceful day and my thoughts are with all who are missing loved ones

Good morning everyone from a cold but dry mid Essex. I’m at DD1s and about to get up and get a drink! I can hear voices downstairs so I think present opening has begun.
I hope those travelling today have safe and uneventful journeys and wish everyone a very Happy Christmas, whatever you’re doing.
