Happy New Year !

Just signing in to wish all of my cyber friends a Happy New Year !! No doubt it will hold some surprises for each of us... lets hope that there are more good ones than bad ones !

We saw the New Year in with two good friends, probably the first time in years that we haven't been to a party !! We tend not to "do" parties any more ! Much more enjoyable to just have good friends around and sit in comfortable chairs all evening !! Oh dear . I AM getting old....

A beautiful day here and we are off out shortly, to meet up with friends for lunch. We take an inland drive around the foothills for about an hour, going south. They live an hour south of our destination. Fortunately, there is a very smart Golf resort, mid- way between us, a perfect meeting point. We do this twice a year, it a good way to keep in touch.

The Christmas decorations are starting to annoy me, I will take them down tomorrow !! They go from being enchanting to untidy, overnight ! I've never quite worked out why !

Not much happening in the quilting line. I have some hand sewing on the go, but rather tend to pick up a book and find a quiet corner in the garden at this time of year. The family arrive down on Saturday for three weeks. They won't be here for much of the time as they DSIL's family have a holiday house near to a beach . It's about an hour from here so there will be lots of comings and goings.. It will be good to see them. This was the first Christmas that we hadn't spent with the Grands since the first one was born, twelve years ago..

Bee, sorry to here about the drama in your household. Do hope the recovery goes well and that the kittens will be a nice distraction for a few days !!!

Keep safe and take care.
Marion.
