Decs away..

Twelfth Night, so high time the decs went back in their box for another year.  All the ornaments on our tree are very old - some as old as me, some, like the toy soldiers, bought 40 years ago when my son and daughter were tiny and we'd not long been in Winchester.  They're all looking rather chipped and dusty these days, but I wouldn't change them.  I remember when and where they were acquired - from family, toy shops, even made by the kids at primary school.  Sentimental, I know, but that's Christmas for you!

The day's been foul - very dark and wet without let-up.  I have been told we had snow yesterday evening.  It snowed for an hour or so and apparently some toboggans were out on the pavements, but then it all turned to rain so that was that.

I've just been given the good news that K has put some chestnuts on to roast.  What fun!  Have a great evening, all  xx
