On The Embers Of 2018

So the very last day of 2018
Came and went
As we surely knew it would 

I am reflecting upon the year past

It held good, bad, and the everyday 

Our Christmas has and continues to be

For let’s not forget there are 12 days to celebrate 

A happy family time

Full of chatting, baking, eating

And some minor bickering 

Just to keep things real!

The cottage has fairly bulged at the corners

With bodies snuggling under blankets 

And sitting telling stories

By the light of the tree

Henry has been mainly full of smiles

And practicing finding his voice

I have made next years puddings

Whilst everyone was home

So that we could all stir them

And make a wish

Henry stirred first

They will now mature in the freezer

Thus linking one year to the next

Much work has been done on youngest’s and Caveman 2’s house 

Many loaves of bread have been cut into sandwiches

Logs have been logged 

Quizzes puzzled over

Mince pies dolloped with cream

Meringues left in too hot an oven

So they tasted like sugar puffs

Choux buns baked and eaten

With cream and generous lashings of chocolate 

Birds have been fed in the garden

And thoughts occasionally have drifted towards 

What the garden will look like come Springtime

I hope your festive season 

Has brought you peace and joy

With copious amounts of love
 Our limited internet is making it nigh on impossible 
To upload photos
So for now I send you blessings J. x
