Being together....

The house was quiet as the dawn chorus broke into song signifying the start of Christmas Day. A day which is normally full of hustle and bustle remained to be bright and cheerful but extremely laid back this year.

Lovely to have both daughters at home, my mum joined us for the day, we enjoyed phone calls, face time and text messages from family and friends from afar. All helped in the kitchen as meals and platters were prepared, laughter echoed through the house, wonderful just being together.

The sky was overcast, not at all summery until late afternoon when the sun broke through with a light breeze rustling the leaves, a pleasant way to end the day.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas :)
