...this week of...
...happiness a lovely Winter Solstice celebration with family, getting all my presents made and wrapped, feeling relaxed
...sadness at the events in the world this week
...creating angel peg people, a glasses case, a scarf, a sock, houses out of cardboard boxes
...learning about castles, planets, numbers, geometry
...reading Mrs Sinclair's Suitcase by Louise Walters and The Lightkeeper's Wife by Karen Viggers, to the children Tumtum and Nutmeg's Christmas Adventure by Emily Bearn, but no new picture books
...thinking of all those that alone at this time year.
...wondering if the weather will be calm for our journey
...hoping the mice don't set up home in our home whilst we are away like they did a couple of years ago at this time of year!
...enjoying this
...looking forward to spending a week with my extended family

I'm so happy to read you are feeling both happy and relaxed - good for you for getting it all done with time to spare. I'm not quite there yet but feeling excited and happy nevertheless :) Safe and happy travels, I'm wishing you the merriest of Christmases to you and your family - complete with a mouse-free home to return to when your journey's done :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful! I'm in the final straight of having all the presents done, there's just a little bit of wrapping and the small matter of a stocking to finish - nothing like leaving it down to the wire is there!
ReplyDeleteThat angel is making me smile!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful holiday.
Oh, Hozier... Yes! *softly sways to the music in her head*
