Happy christmas

We have come around to this time of the year quickly and of course not without drama.

We were supposed to be going on a steam train yesterday with the younglings to meet Santa. That was the plan of course, buit sadly when my father went to check the situation with the ice he fell down and broke his arm.

Thankfully after a short time in hospital he was able to com home. It is a clean break and he does not even need to have a cast. He has got it in a sling and will go back to the hospital next week to check on the progress. Bless him though he was very upset that he had ruined the day, when he had done no such thing and we were just worried about him.

The council have said that they will provide some grit so that we can grit the road ourselves but that should have been there years ago. the road is an utter nightmare when it is icy as it is on a slope.

Today is going well though and the younglings love their presents. My brother and his partner are also here as well so it has been nice seeing them.

Though my youngest son is not that well today. He had a bad night last night coughing and if he does not imporve we will take him to the doctors. We also need to get him a new inhaler.


At least there have been no arguments so far but then again I am not sure if I can recall a Christmas day when there were arguments.
