A very quick blog to wish you all a very happy Christmas.
Today has been a busy one but really lovely. Hub and I have spent the day
cooking. The house smells lovely. Really festive. I made stuffing and Hub made
the meat stuffing for him and our boy. We have small sausages wrapped in bacon
they call them pigs in blankets…. Thank Goodness I’m a vegetarian. Turkey all cooked,
that took hours to cook. I pealed all of the vegetables and that includes
turnips, carrots sprouts, yack, and parsnips. I also made homemade Yorkshire pudding
mix all ready to put in the oven tomorrow. We will have mash potato and roast
potatoes too and gravy with a touch of sherry in for added flavour also homemade
mushy peas. It’s a northern thing I’m sure as finding them in the shops here
was almost impossible, my Aunt brought them with her when she came. I can’t have
Christmas dinner without them
There will be the things like cranberry sauce too and of
course we have brandy sauce for dessert for the Christmas pudding. Table all
set as we have just finished tea. First time we had time today to eat. I made a
small party tea. We have all the candles lit and crackers all ready for
tomorrow with party hat and joke inside. Crackers we pull; they make a bang,
for all our Bloggets who don’t know what they are. All our lights are on in the
house, and in the garden. The tree is waiting for Santa to deliver his gifts
and our dogs are rather excited to see what they are going to get. Teen been
out all day and yesterday, he has had a nice time I’m sure with his gf.
So now all home and about to watch the Christmas shows we
have recorded. I love this time of year and this year even more. I am filled
with happiness and excitement. I feel so tearful in a good way for the past few
days what has gone on in my life, I also realise how much we miss the girls and
Hub and I were just saying how one day we hope to have all three kids at
Christmas with us. I really miss the two girls and at this time of year more
so. I don’t think we are seeing them for a couple of weeks. I kind of hope
earlier?
Who would have guessed that this year I would be back with
my family? It’s been a dreadful year for me, and to lose my darling Hannah,
otherwise known as BB Black beauty, my first guide dog. The loss of her was so
painful, but we still have our other two and they are a handful.
For those who really are feeling sad and alone now, please
believe me, for so many years I was like you. Your lives can change without you
even knowing it’s going to happen. You never know what is around the corner.
Also, my dear Bloggets, for those who don’t have love in their lives, who feel
worthless, who don’t have delicious food on their table or a warm fire to keep
them from the frost, I pray that your lives will change for the better. For
those who are ill now, remember if it’s possible, to help yourselves as much as
you can. Know that out there is a life waiting for you. For those who are
really grieving, I feel for you, I really do. But so many bad things in life
can suddenly turn around and some good can come out of it.
I need you all in my life. I need to feel your hands in mine
and together we can walk the pavements of promises!
