Christmas

We all had a wonderful family Christmas the children had lots of fun opening their presents and we had fun watching, and eating and drinking. Frankie lost no time in thanking father Christmas for his toys.

Magic Snowman

The children wanted a pet but they are allergic to hay and fur so after much thought they decided to get a bearded dragon. He has been named Mika and is very attractive rarther like the other Mika. Aaron Anna and Sebastian just made to Luxembourg for Christmas it was touch and go what with the trains and the weather. Aaron and the children built a snowman not just any snowman but a magic one who moved up the garden in the night or maybe got caught out on his way home from the north pole............

Snow no!

We usually look forward to the snow and enjoy the wonder of it all but this year it has come a little toooooooo early. Aaron Anna and Sebastian are due to visit for Christmas and the roads are not looking too good. The forecast is for rain so hopefully that will clear things and all will be well. Last night the temperature was -18c much to cold for me.

Malcolm`s birthday

The children were all excited that it was granddads birthday. He didn't feel like going out for a meal so we just had a take Chinese takeaway in the evening with Amelia and Martin who had called in after looking at their house and Abigail came over to join us.

Christmas Market

Saturday we went to the Christmas Market at Trier on the train with Amelia and Martin. Tt was very cold and damp but we had lots of warming food and drink. I was going to get Malcolm a hat for his birthday but he didnt want to go in the shop and try them on so no birthday present then...

Christmas Trees

We have been busy putting up the Christmas decorations at home ready for Malcolm` s birthday. He as at last agreed that we can get a new tree next year as the one we have is very old and getting very very thin. Frankie and Lilie helped with the tree at Clemency. Poor Frankie is still poorly with pneumonia but hopefully he will start to pick up soon he is taking lots of antibiotics we all want him to be well for Christmas.
