Nature Watcher

By NatureWatcher

First prize!

This morning I went to the gym then in the afternoon went to I's school with O to watch her in the school Nativity play. She was an angel with a line to say  and did look very angelic.  It was lovely to watch and they all did very well.

Every year they have a grand raffle and parents donate prizes to make hampers.   It was drawn after the play.  The head teacher drew out the first number and said "I's nan"  I never win anything and  was so shocked that I didn't move until O said "Go on, that's you!"

I chose a hamper which was full of goodies including Prosecco, Sauvignon blanc, 6 packets of biscuits, chocolate, a gingerbread house, 2 jars of chutney,  a mug with a teddy in and a Father Christmas shaped  tin filled with chocolate coins.   I think that the family will have to help out with a lot of them, what a lovelt gift for Christmas!

The extra (which was going to be my blip) is of a big,beautiful mature beech tree in the park that blew down in Storm Darragh at the weekend.  Workmen were cutting it up to take away.   Part of it was given to a neighbour of F's who is a wood turner so it won't be wasted.
