And then it is all gone. Christmas of course. The hustle and bustle of getting enough food in and presents wrapped. I will own up here, I do not wrap only give money for them to spend on what they want. Ben cooked the Xmas lunch beautifully, no turkey, too dry, but chicken with all the trimmings, though I notice no sprouts;) Present opening took nearly all morning, mostly in this house it is clothes. Though there was a Japanese puzzle box, unfathomable until Matilda looked it up on the web.
My presents were William Morris themed hand cream, books, wool winder, bum bag and a vacuum cleaner from Ben! I had been saying a few days before that I could not get to the corners in my room and lo and behold a small hand held cleaner has arrived. A lovely dark turquoise lidded mug from my daughter, let us call it a herb mug. It reminded her of Paul and his Japanese lidded mugs, I can even hear the sound of the lid as he replaced it on the mug.
My main present a 'swift' changed into something different and has to be sent back for the rightful one. We await Andrew on that one, he just loves the hurly-burly of a good fight over consumer goods:) Andrew was away with his son in Manchester in an apartment spending time together but is back again today. They are off again in a couple of days to Rome I think and the house will once more be deserted, though Lillie might still be here.
