Trying To Keep The Cold Out!

 "A lovely thing about Christmas is that it’s compulsory, like a thunderstorm, and we all go through it together." - Garrison Keillor

Welcome to my Sunday 💓

We had a bit of a lie in...

On this day back in 2010.

We had 20 cms of snow....

 I am hoping we won't have that much this Christmas!

Then it was time for Breakfast with Brew.

The thermal vest went on!

So did the kettle....

(As the Coffee Machine has now stopped working, and waiting for the new one to arrive)

Coffee Time!

Now to try to make the house warmer!

We added another thermal lining to the living room curtain...

Hoping that helps with the draughts from the window!

Changed our bedroom curtains to the yellow curtains from the Living Room, as they are three layered curtains.

Hoping it will keep the bedroom warm now!

Light lunch time!

Out for some fresh air in the rain!

First was to check my tyre pressures.

Then in the rain we went to see my mum and dad.

Oh the surprise I had, my other two siblings haven't added a wreath of those own....

One of them might turn up on Christmas Eve with his own and hopefully won't try to nick mine!

(As everytime he comes up, he like to help himself to something I have put on our parent's grave!)

I had a conversation with my parents.

Then headed back home in the rain.

Hubby started on the tea.

I had another Faux Fur Wreath to do.

Then I added to our bedroom wall.

Tea was ready.

We watched the Best Christmas Cake and Best Christmas Jumper episodes.

Now for some highlights of Morecambe and Wise...with Andre Previn...

If you want to read the back story to it.

The Prelude of Mr Preview.

Along the promenade I stroll
It may be sticky but I never complain
It's nice to have a nibble at it now and again"
