2014 Week 49 Day 4 – We have had such mild weather that the frost today was one of the first of the season. It made for some very pretty nature scenes! Today the elf really did sit on a shelf and was happy to get a Christmas card form Alexei.
2014 Week 49 Day 3 – All that effort decorating the tree yesterday must have made Twinkle hungry, and here she is the next morning, tucking into a pancake
2014 Week 49 Day 2 – Twinkle came back. Yey. And phew!! Not only that, but as well as writing her own reply to the children, (amazingly received the night before and featured in yesterday’s post (!!!???), she also bought with her some lights for the tree! We had been waiting for some as last […]
2014 Week 49 Day 1 – A friend came today after school, who doesn’t believe in Father Christmas ( I know!!!!), and immediately touched Twinkle!! A collective gasp, an ‘Oi’ from me and floods of tears from the little ones made him realise what a terrible error he had made. He felt bad and agreed […]
2014 Week 48 Day 7 – I couldn’t resist when she found this hat and put it on!!Last night the kids named their elf Twinke. Alexei had wanted ‘Sparkle’ which I thought was lovely, but Barnaby refused, I think purely as it was Alexei’s choice. I explained that in order for the elf to have her […]

2014 Week 48 Day 5 – Tomorrow is 1st December, so, of course, from now on it is all things Christmassy. The boys started with advent calendars, colouring them in. And then we went to get our Christmas tree! I am not sure if the kids had more fun getting the tree, or going through […]
2014 Week 47 Day 3 – I thought looking through Christmas presents would be safe with a 2 year old. How wrong I was! So, her cow onesie had to be opened and worn before there was complete meltdown; she doesn’t realise that it simply means one less present at Christmas. Not that she really […]
Week 2, day 1 – I am in love! I have a new washing machine that has a 11kg drum. At almost twice the capacity of my old machine, I feel like I can now cope with my washing loads. I am even beginning to enjoy it and have started separating clothes out into different colours […]
The last week of 2013 began with Christmas Eve and after a visit to the church, we joined many other villagers in the annual torchlit procession and carol service. This year the procession could not be organised due to bridge closures elsewhere and so our road over the Thames had to be kept open. It […]
