Simple fun is the best fun

Mr C and I woke in the camper van to find the wind had died down.. Before long we heard a knock on the door and Ella, Thomas and Nathaniel appeared to tell us there had been a little bit of snow.

We played for ages in the woods after breakfast, then the four of them decided that the best present from Santa had been the torches so they played in the airing cupboard. Each shelf was a bunk and going to pretend bed was great fun. Then they ran about shouting they were on a bear hunt, and the airing cupboard was its cave.

Things calmed down after the Whitley Bay boys went home. #3 daughter cooked us all a nice meal. Ella learned how to make loom band bracelets. After they are in bed we'll have a well-earned G & T and watch the new Agatha Christie. Bliss!
