Under the Beech Tree

BB had football today, though it had to be rearranged due to frozen pitches.  I spent a few hours helping at the Scout Christmas Fair.  I was serving in the café, and we were constantly busy, lots of bacon rolls were sold and we made a lot of money.  There were lots of stalls and a magnificent raffle.  The raffle organisers had clearly worked hard to get lots of prizes from local businesses and had made up lots of lovely Christmas hampers,  unfortunately I didn’t win anything.

It was strange to emerge from the hall into daylight and I felt a bit dazed as I walked home.  My mum and dad arrived early afternoon to stay for a couple of days.  As it was quite mild, we went for a river walk and saw lots of evidence of where the river had burst its banks earlier in the week.  Once home BB did his cello practice – a treat for granny and grandad!?!

TT and I then left granny and grandad in charge, and went out to meet some friends.   We had a lovely time, with nice food and great company.  Well done to R for organising.

Here is BB checking out the river.  The big beech tree is still holding on to some of its leaves.
