Vitamin B and Tinsel

Dear Ella,

Plenty of the first (vitamin B) to be on the safe side - nobody likes to see a mood swing over Christmas - and just maybe taking vitamin B helps!  Lacking a little in the tinsel department.  Bit half hearted on the Christmas decorations this year - we got a tree up, but not much more.  Still it looks lovely and it's only been attacked by Brian once or twice.

Just back from the last big supermarket shop - usual sling it all in trolley and hope that it  comes together when the time comes.  Put in the usual essential extras - paracetamol, Pringles and pomegranates - paracetamol for me, Pringles for you and pomegranates for Sophie.

Unpacked and stashed everything away - enjoying a coffee and just being at home.  #loveallington - my new hashtag,  (not that I have ever had one before).  All is calm and peaceful and can feel the comfort of home wrapping its self around me.  Counting my blessings to have such a lovely place to live in and that the doors will be open to friends and family over the next few days.

All the lovely girls coming round tonight - Annie, Amy, Maisy, and Maya (George away climbing in Spain - of all places) - "mothers allowed if well behaved". Sophie and the cutting crew will be loitering for a short period prior to taking the Thekla by storm - you would have been torn - stay in with the girls or head down to your favourite boat…..

Took Granddad out for lunch yesterday - Park Garden Centre at Almondsbury - we had a lovely potter and loved seeing the fish - just like keeping you and Sophie busy in the run up to Christmas when you were little girls.

Out third Christmas without you is less than 48 hours away - as ever on we go, one foot in front of the other doing the best we can (well most of the time).  Wish you were here - or at least on your way home….

Lots of love

Mum
