Made it! I just typed out an essay, clicked to post, and got the message that the thread was closed, DUH!! I love this new kitchen though, how many have we had now?
NannyT, we are overflowing with Clementines around here, but I don`t like them. I LOVE satsumas but they`re so scarce. That`s a beautiful rocking horse, looks like my childhood dreams. Obviously 2 little people love it too.
Willow, that jumper looks very bright and Christmassy, but I don`t think the dog looks too impressed.
Ann, it`s good to hear that your husband is more settled now, so go ahead and enjoy YOUR Christmas with your little cat now. We had a young kitten at our first Christmas, he liked nothing better than batting his paw at the balls on the tree, and of course when they flew off they always managed to land on the stone surrounding the carpet, so shattered. Smoky broke just about every ball on that tree, but I still have the last to survive Christmas 1963.
Izabella, you have amazing descriptive powers. I know someone who is spending Christmas at Aberfoyle as well.
Kitty, is the dressing gown lively enough for you?
Soop, the pics of the moon are lovely, thank MacSporran won`t you? I hope that Tabitha returns in time to make your Christmas even more special.
MawB and Corner, I`m so sorry that you are dealing with such sad stuff at this time, any time, really.
Baggs, he thought he was doing the right thing. My hubby once came home with a couple of packs of Christmas cards, I told him I`d bought all the cards already, he said "Maybe, but these have envelopes included"!
GrannyQ, Hope you have fun with Pip the crazy pup.
GreyD, at least he has an eye for a bargain.
Charley and Soop, I thought that all biscuits, chocolates and other goodies were allowed at Christmas?
Panache, so nice to hear from you in the midst of all your troubles. And good to hear that Mr P is slowly improving. So sorry that help is still not on the horizon, but I hope that you manage to have a reasonably happy and peaceful Christmas x
Last night Mia came in smeared in oil for the first time in months, so she`s just had a Swarfega bath. She wasn`t impressed, and has taken herself off upstairs to sulk. I remembered a short while ago that our bins are being emptied a day early, so have just put it outside the back gate in case I forget later.
