The Festive Season

Oh how I approach this time of year with a whole bunch of mixed feelings. Being an only child is a bit of a double edged sword, you get spoiled (if you're lucky/unlucky!) and there tend to be precious few parties and celebrations. I get slightly miffed by people who have large families and who proceed to reject the gatherings, parties and general family togetherness. The natural order of life dictates that family groups change, births and deaths, separations and divorce mean that they are ever regrouping. So when you think about "Auntie Flo" and what a fun sense of humour she has for an old bird just remember to spend some time with her…..while you have the chance.
It's very cold and I woke to ice on the inside of the windows…hmmm another jumper and a second pair of socks methinks!
