Now THIS is how you do a Christmas lights switch on!
I just came across this and I had to share it with you. Having gone to our local Christmas lights switch on, I was feeling pretty festive. Then I found this from 2024, Paris. Enjoy.

I made an advert!
It’s true. Some of you who have been with me for a long time now, will know that I like to dabble in poetry and I have had my very first poetry book published this year. Now, anyone who has a poetry book out will tell you, it’s not going to earn you a million!…

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2024
Thought I’d show you our tree. There are a few hand-made decorations on it – nothing matches which is just how we like it! I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for reading my blog this year, it really means a lot to me. I’ve met some fantastic people here and I’m truly…

This needs to become Christmas No1 in the UK!
The older people in this country have been attacked by those in a position to help them. They do NOT want this song to become number 1 here in the UK this Christmas – have a listen and find out why. And if you do fancy downloading it, all the money is going to charity.

Christmas – can we go back please?
I’ve been thinking about Christmas a lot and all the financial problems that go with it. I was watching a video on YouTube the other day and it was a woman who was making up hampers for Christmas. They weren’t expensive, all bells and whistles but they looked amazing. Most of them were under £10…

I’ll be banned from the kitchen if I keep this up!
There are many lessons to learn here. If you caught my post about my Christmas cake mishap, you’ll know I can be quite distracted when it comes to cooking, baking and all things kitchen. It’s not a trait I’m proud of or even enjoy all that much – and it’s happened again. I nipped out…

Christmas Cake Calamity!
It seemed like a good idea at the time I haven’t made a Christmas cake in years. In fact, I don’t know if I’ve ever made more than one and the first one was a disaster. So as I was scrolling through YouTube videos the other day, I came across a channel which does a…

It just isn’t Christmas without this
I have to share this. When I was growing up we listened to this EVERY Christmas and when I found it on YouTube, I discovered we weren’t the only ones. If you don’t know this album you should. Yes it’s old but it’s adorable and to me, it just isn’t Christmas without it. Enjoy.

Christmas comes to town
The little beach town of Nairn had it’s Christmas market and lights switch on last Saturday and it was quite the turn-out. This must be one of the highlights of the year for many people but for very different reasons. The local shops are all open, the stall holders turn up to sell their wares,…

I’m considering these Christmas gifts – what do you think?
I love watching YouTube videos which show all sorts of gift ideas. I don’t use Instagram or the other ‘social’ self-esteem killers so this is as close as I get to scrolling. Anyway, it got me thinking about a few things – mainly the fact I’m not that organised for Christmas yet. Here are a…
