Happy Boxing Day all. Hope everyone had a great day yesterday. One of my most perfect for a while . Santa needed his alarm setting for 4am as their were noises from certain bedrooms late into the night. All veg cooked and foiled Xmas eve, so a. Lovely relaxing morning. Cooked for 7 of my family then up to OHs family for riotous evening. ????
sister got me a camellia ETA Carlyon, loads of buds on it (white). No idea where it's going ! ???? but looking forward to experimenting.
glad tidings all.
using new iPad mini so just checking if these smilies work...
Feel a snooze coming on - am stuffed with leftovers, xmas pud etc.
Rosemummy, we haven't seen a mouse here since we got our cats. They don't catch anything, but spend a long time prowling about the cupboards and corners... I guess the smell of cat (imperceptible to humans) must scare the mice away. Personally, I can't bear trapping & killing mice etc. Humane traps work, but you have to release the mice far enough from home for them not to bother to return.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Hello all, think I've got a tiny moment to pop in. 10 adults, 6 children and 2 babies here, been pretty hectic and very noisy. Dishwasher seems to be on 3 - 4 times a day. Don't think I've ever seen so many presents under a tree. Children were very excited. Went for a walk with eldest daughter and 2 small grandsons on bikes this afternoon.
Hope you've all had a good time. Why does Verdun want to be sick in a bowl and put brandy cream on it?!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Perhaps he's saving it for later, Lizzie, waste not and all that.
I have just put some nibbles in the oven for tea. There are 8 of us here, and will be for a few more days, my daughfef stays for almost a week the boys love it, they have a choice of rooms with tv's for their games.
Step daughter has just gone, she bought me a lovely set of hand products by Joules, in a nice re usable tin.
Son and DIL came this morning, no meals though.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Hope everyone had a good day yesterday, We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with Firstborn and our two Grandaughters. Eldest was quite poorly with a heavy cold such a shame. Still, she did manage to get out on her new bike (pink with gears as she would say). Getting to be a real Victoria Pendleton, only six and finding the gears no problem. Little one had lots of Pepper Pig presents so she was very happy. Had a lovely lunch, turkey was purfect.
Back home now, relaxing in front of the fire, eating too many chocs. Had some lovely pressies including Gardening Vouchers and a new Moleskine Gardening Journal.

Quiet day today - sounds as if you all had a great time yesterday.
Off up north tomorrow to see new Grandson who's Christmas present off his mummy and Daddy was his name
He is now putting on weight but a long way to go before he can come home.
May be the only time I get to see him for some time so am gong to make the most of the weekend with both grand children
GD (age2) when I asked what she had had just said 'presents' - fair enough!!
See you in new Year probably - come back to appointments
Enjoy the rest of the festive season all of you
