This must be a first for me,middle of november and apart from 3 little prezzies and a few stocking fillers to find my christmas gift shopping is done,it really is a good feeling to think that i do not have to worry about it a few days before the big day.Now i am so looking forward to decorating my house and wrapping the prezzies knowing the stress is over.
A few years ago a good friend showed my daughter and me how to make christmas wreaths of our own.We collect ivy ,holly, fir cones and bits and bobs from the woods and have a lovley day making wreaths for our doors and garlands for the fire place,and if i do say so myself they always look lovley.I bought a fake tree four years ago when my eldest grandson Billy was crawling around because of the needles dropping from a real tree and sticking to his little knees and hands, and i think it is going to come out this year cos little scott is crawling around now,it is a good one,in fact two friends did think that it was a real one,just wish it smelt like one.I have had a sort thro my essential oils and mixed some for a room spray and pot pourri so my house will smell like christmas especially when i light the christmas yankieand barn candles i have,can you tell i am looking forward to it all,just wish i had someone who would do the food shopping for me.

October
October has nearly gone and this is my first posting,had so much family stuff going on not had time to sit and blog.This morning we are having a lot of hail stones rain and a bit of sunshine peeping thro but not quite getting there, its not as cold has it has been but still cold.
We still have not found our dog Bilko,it is very sad to think that he has gone and we dont have a clue as to what happened to him,maybe it is better that we dont know.
Next weekend we have halloween to look forward to,I think my interest in witches and magic gets carried away a bit at this time of year cos i do like to dress my house and get ready for the children knocking for trick or treat.Im going to make some cakes and treats for my grandsons this year as they are a bit older and will love to get into halloween this year, Billy likes spiders and creepy things now just like all little boys.I think a halloween party maybe calling.
Then we will have christmas knocking at the door it is not far away now.I always have great promises to myself in the new year that i will get organised better than last year and when it comes to this time i have nothing done,i have ordered a couple of prezzies for two of my friends but that is as far as i have got.The best part of christmas for me is wrapping prezzies up with all the lovley paper and adding ribbons and bows and watching the childrens faces as they open them,its just bliss.
Well its taken me all day to write this post as i have kept getting disturbed and not a lot written,must be telling me something,so i will say bye for now and get back tomorrow.xx

September days.
The summer days are now over and the days are getting shorter,I dont like the dark nights so am making the most of the few nights we have left before the clocks go back and we are in with curtains closed from 5pm and long, long nights. The bit i do like is getting the log burner going,candles all a light and to snuggle up under a blanket with a good book,oh and a glass of wine,nice!!
My time over the last 10 days have been took up with looking for our dog Bilko.I was out walking with him in our local woods and he ran off chasing something and I havent seen him since.Dont know weather he has ran off to far and hurt himself ,is stuck somewhere or cannot find his way home but I have searched and searched for him ,people in our village have helped and are still keeping an eye open for him,I just dont know may just turn up one day,but it is a sad home without him.
My eldest grandson Billy,went back to school earlier this month start of his first year,he has been through his reception year so now he tells me he is a big boy at real school.Lewis is 2years old later this month and starts nursery in october he is looking forward to that,then there will only be little Scott to come through my door in a morning to give me kisses and cuddles,oh i dont like them growing up.Its my birthday later this month and think I will just spend the day snugled up with them all.
I now must sign off and start dinner for the men,one thing I do like about winter is cooking nice pots of stew,big pots of home made soup and yummy cassroles,lovley.We are having braised steak tonight so better get on get it all prepared.
Bye for now xx
