Winter walks

Tim has now come down with the cold, so has been curled up on the sofa with lemsip for the last couple of days. Before the bugs hit, we'd planned to fit in a good Walk today. This got downgraded to a Stroll around Anglesey Abbey which has a beautiful winter garden, but was just as enjoyable as a walk would have been. Annoyingly, the camera ran out of battery power after three photographs. Never mind - we'll just have to go back later in the spring when the snowdrops are out!

Christmastime

Christmas day 2007

Tim and I had a lovely day together this Christmas. We cooked (and ate) far too much food, listened to lots of radio and unwrapped our presents together. Lovely :-)

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Fa la la la la, la la la la.

(sniff).

Yes, just in time for Christmas I've come down with a cold. Tim has been lovely all day, putting up with me moping around and feeling sorry for myself. We wandered into town this morning for a nice cup of tea and cake in our favourite coffee shop, feeling smug that we'd done all our Christmas shopping so could just relax. Then this afternoon we iced The Cake:


All home made, apart from the marzipan. We're spending Christmas Day at home in Bedford this year, so have gone to town on the decorations and made mincemeat as well as the cake. Hope you're all looking forward to the festive season as much as we are!
