One of the nice things about the blog is the record of Christmas’s past. Our earlier Christmas’s that pre dated blogging were big family affairs. I’m from a family of 5 kids and so it Rachel . In the past I’ve hosted a Christmas dinner for over 20…. Great memories.
As we age sadly we loose loved ones and it’s only at later gatherings or events such as Christmas you wish for one more hug, one more daft present and one more conversation. So now with the benefit of life lived you … or we should and do make the most of such events, helped greatly by photos and this year we hosted my sister and had a great Christmas dinner and played a few games afterwards. Relatively quite. Tomorrow it’s grandchildren time and that is the essence of Christmas for me kids. Wednesday Rachel has her facility here so that’ll be in excess of 15 to feed and entertain.
Then the NHS get the benefit of our focus with Rachel back to work in the community and me running a blood bike shift….
So if you have those loved ones still with you give them a hug
We did have plans to get to the boat … maybe over the New Year even if it’s just a Cruise to Ingestre or Wolsey Bridge.
