Nearly forgot my Dad.
Took him into kitchens, which sells items for kitchens.
He asked me what my OH would like for xmas so I said a blender/mixer.
I took him to the "kitchen aid" display and said "one of them!" pointing to the very nice shiny mixers.
he said "okay, what colour?"
I said "stainless steel"

I showed him the price �409.00!!!!

He nearly had heart attack.

oh how I laughed.

Didnt get the mixer though

Spending time with a good grape from an excellent year!

Just being able to sit.......and read the Vine....with nothing pressing needing to be done. Lovely.

A 1.15kg parsnip and my neighbour feeling he knows us well enough to ask if he could have some chard from our garden.

The Snowman and the Snowdog.....

Absolutely lovely.....

My 92 year old Mum ringing up to check that I had food in the house or she would ask my brother to bring me something of hers.
But I only have a cold Mum - I know she says, but I worry about you not getting enough to eat
I suppose Mothers never stop worrying about their kids!

The Snowman and the Snowdog.....

Absolutely lovely.....

For me too and I'm watching it again with my very own Snowdog, Roosty!

Did you cry? I did!

[julesapple]

I did, but sneakily. My kids are merciless.....

The kids and a few of the ..ahem...grown ups here, were all saying it was lacking something, it wasn't as good.

If they'd stopped yakking and just watched, they just might, just might, have got it. But no, they totally missed the point of mourning a beloved pet.

Where did I go wrong?

A two hour visit from my 10 year old grandaughter. This year she insisted she come and open her presents from us with us.

Makes a proper Christmas.

Potty with a big grin.
