Probably will not get our tree up until the week of 18 December - have a lot to do and a house inspection by the Landlord's Agent to contend with. Fencing has now been done but there are still a lot of other things on the list. Looks as though am going to have my work cut out. Glad you got on ok with the heart monitor thingy. You are not sensitive to plaster are you? I always itch with anything like that and although they say I am not allergic whenever I have anything done I always opt for the Micropore which is the white tape that they use for people with sensitivities as it saves a lot of bother that way on. Once upon a time we used to buy their Christmas Turkey but they now both source their own Christmas dinners and get little extras here and there in the form of Red Cross parcels. All I have to do now is just the fresh stuff and meat. However next year is going to be different again. Christmas will start in January again as I have not quite achieved one or two things due to lack of time and unexpected things happening. So to get it all out of the way with I will start making things for next year on the present front to allow myself more time and also do my own cards. Only got a few made this year. Glad you are getting on with the quilts I bet they look smashing.

I think we will go for a Nordman fir this year as I am fed up with still vacuuming up needles in June!!<br /><br />It sounds like you will have a real houseful at Christmas. I love your idea of "supplies to the kids"!! Gives you a real purpose with all your wonderful preserve making etc. <br /><br />I've always worn cords and prefer them to denim jeans. I only have one pair of those.<br /><br />Gabby's quilt is ready to sandwich now - I bought some more safety pins yesterday to pin the layers together. I need to get back to finishing piecing the top of Tam's - am doing the sashing. I think I will be lucky if I finish them in time!<br /><br />As someone who thought she was never going to have children, I think the world of my family, and would lay down on a train track if I thought it would save them from any harm. Mind you, pretty well all mums would say the same.<br /><br />Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-20494822507230322702017-12-04T22:33:36.796-08:002017-12-04T22:33:36.796-08:00It's a fake one parsnip, but a good fake.

This was one of theirs, although tbh, it could be in our Morning Room (now Dining Room) window as we have the same Georgian shutters in there.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-49903828168720073902017-12-04T16:41:41.176-08:002017-12-04T16:41:41.176-08:00Beautiful tree, it looks like frost touched it ver...Beautiful tree, it looks like frost touched it very lightly.

I have to cater for all sorts; two Diabetics (Geoff and Paul (my stepson), four grandchildren (the eldest hardly eats any veggies - but will eat most of everything else) and three other adults who have likes and dislikes so there always ends up being a right mish mash. I also send supplies to both of the children as well. Something which my mother-in-law used to do with us when the kiddies were home. Something which I have carried on. Glad you found some cords - they are lovely and warm at this time of year. Hope you get your letter to your pen friend sorted. I also hope the quilts are going well (for the girls) presents. Your daughters (and Danny) are lucky to have such a lovely mum. Catch you soon. Tricia (aka Pattypan) xx<br />Pattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.com
