I hope you've all had a good Christmas and are getting a chance to sit back and watch the light slowly growing in the world, while still enjoying the peace and quiet of the deep dark turn of the year. We've just seen the last visitors out the door and after almost a week of full house, it's hibernation time in this house!<br />materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-67894554802816167512015-12-27T11:39:21.702-08:002015-12-27T11:39:21.702-08:00you're so welcome, Lynn.you're so welcome, Lynn. materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-82523336923246728562015-12-27T11:38:05.379-08:002015-12-27T11:38:05.379-08:00Oh goody!

A busy Christmas for all of you but a very meaningful one, I'm sure. I hope your Mum's 'field trip' will go well -- so great to be able to break up that institutiona pattern once in a while, I think. (We used to take Paul's Mom out to White Spot, as we didn't live near enough to bring her home, and she really seemed to enjoy the outings).materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-62575527324252133862015-12-27T05:08:39.794-08:002015-12-27T05:08:39.794-08:00Merry Christmas!
