Congrats LP. That must be a relief for all concerned and a great joy.
You too Chicky. That home sounds perfect for your dad.
TB - I hope you get your OH back safe and sound.
First dinner dance in the Vendée last night. 30 couples and, after dinner was done and the tables removed we started dancing. She began with two pasos and had nearly everyone on the floor. Unheard of in our Belgian soirées where hardly anyone dances it and so it's not often played. Have to say tho that these people do paso, and all the other ballroom dances, with teeny steps and small arms and none of the posture Len likes. We go round the floor 3 times to their 1 and were much watched. Lovely people and great atmosphere.
BIt foggy driving home buy sunny today with a clear, frosty start. Lovely now so I'm about to head out into the garden. OH is walking the dogs. I have been on kitten/Rasta rapprochement duty all morning and have just made some lemon curd and preserved lemons. Still not feeling Christmassy but it will come. Might chop fruit for the Creole cake this evening.
I hope everyone's having a cracking Sunday and that all bugs and lurgies are on the wain. Hugs to those with worries, SAD and/or sleepless nights.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Many congratulations LilyP - what a splendid name Best wishes to all concerned
Chicky - jolly well done - that sounds perfect for your father - my Pa had a view out over Sole Bay and loved watching the passing ships and the fishing boats and sailing boats from Southwold harbour He claimed to have seen one of the whales as it passed up our coast a few years ago, but there was a definite twinkle in his eye when he told us
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Lily Pilly, many congratulations for you all, ????a lovely safe arrival and the best Christmas present you could all have wished for....??the next couple of weeks will be horrendous waiting to get there for cuddles....hoping you might have a pic or two to show us soon... ?
