Soon Be Time

Well, Xmas is almost here. I hope everybody is ready and looking forward to the big day.

We’re happy as our daughter is home from Cornwall for a week.  We haven’t seen her since February and it is so nice to have her here. We are a close family despite the miles in between us and everyone feels it, even the grandkids (nephews/niece). The week will go by much too quickly before she has to travel the 300+ miles back to the Duchy. If we win the Lottery between now and then we will go back with her to find a new home!

We’ll be spending the week watching Xmas movies,  playing games and celebrating as it should. It will be fun.

We (Dawn, Lee and I) moved there for 18 months as that is where I wanted to retire to. We love the place, it’s such a beautiful county.  But Dawn was missing the grandkids who were all younger then, obviously, and she was spending a long weekend up here every 6 weeks, which wasn’t what we planned or wanted. So in the end we bit the bullet, moved back up here to Lincolnshire to be close to them. And as usually happens, as they’ve grown older, two of them working and driving, the other a teenager with her own circle of friends, we don’t see a great deal of them and wonder why we bothered moving back!

But hindsight is a wonderful thing, and it is what it is.  We have a nice home, in a lovely little village. We’re known here now too, and cannot complain about things. Well, we can but it wouldn’t do any good so waste energy LOL.

We are “dog-sitting” at the moment.  Our good friend in the village, Maria, has gone to Spain for Xmas, with her family. We agreed to look after her 3 dogs. We must be mad. We have 2 Lhasa Apsos ourselves, so the house is full of 5 dogs at the moment. Hers are a Shih’Tzu (Desmond), and 2 Pekes (Mimi and Penelope). They all get on well as we see them everyday when we take our for a walk. It’s certainly an exercise in Logistics, especially at meal times. But there is never any animosity between any of them. We have them until 28th.

Just a short one for today. In case I don’t post again before the 25th I hope everybody has a wonderful Christmas and that Santa brings everything you wish for.
