I always have mixed feelings when we go to the museum cafe for coffee. The museum is right next to the time shares where we had a week in June for thirty years and a week in February for about six years. There is a river that runs through the time share (The Leven) and we would sit on our balcony looking out over the river. Sitting in the cafe looking out at the tuver brings back happy memories but it is hard. Driving there this morning through the forest there was a beautiful cock pheasant I a field standing watching us. |

Yes full of energy as is Senua but Inara was not well before we came away so we won’t see her until they join us for lunch on the anniversary of daughters late OHs death. I am sure they are causing mayhem for the parents thus week they are both very excitable. It will seem strange not seeing them opening some of their presents. |

It was dry when we left for Ulverston this morning at 0900. The car park for Booths was pretty full but the shop was not too bad and we picked up the ordered meat and some extra bits and pieces. We didn’t attempt to go in their cafe for coffee but drove on the way bs k here, to the motor museum at Backbarrow where we used to have our time share. We knew they have a good cafe there so we had our coffee and daughter and I shared a scone. |

It was so nicely cooked so tasty, I did leave some, not much though. I said to daughter that I guess not many people my age would eat such a large meal. She left two potatoes that is all. She is eating more now that she has Ben put on insulin. |

Just getting dark here now and I have been up the churchyard and put mums and OH's flowers on their graves. Had a little look in the church and none of the candles have been lit on the advent ring as the last service was canceled because of the wind so I expect they will light all the candles on Christmas day. |

That's good you tried the parcel collection service Mel. It saves you money on the postage, the time and the fuel. It's good your fingers have survived you finishing your table dec and posies or will you make more? |

The snow didn’t lay here but looking out of the window we can see Old man Coniston which is covered in snow. So that looks Christmassy. It was the same ten years ago with snow on the surrounding hill and mountain tops. The sun is shining now. |
