Memories!

Around lunchtime today the family came over to see if Layla's old Dolls House kept in the loft could be renovated for Miss B. sadly due to various reasons it was decided this would not be feasible--

Over thirty years ago a wee girl asked Santa for a Doll's House!
G helped Santa out by making this, then my mum, dad, G and moi stayed up until around 0300h on Christmas Day morning decorating and putting the finishing touches to the house.
At 0500h the wee girl awoke and asked if Santa had been, we got up and he had.
She sat mesmerised in front of the Doll's House but didn't touch it.
Then she turned and said 'It is lovely but the front door is to small for me to get in:)'
We all laughed and then to her relief G took the front of the house off and there were the rooms with furniture and even lights, she had many happy hours playing with it.

--and I'm afraid it will have to go into the bin. Layla, Bella, Ruaridh and moi went to get the reast of the apples off Patricia's tree-lovely big red ones-hmmm.
We then all went to the park and Bella had a great time with her Daddy and Grandpa on the play park. Met two lovely women one in her nineties who live in a Residential Home good to chat with them.
The family left and we took the Wonder Dog for a walk in the woods. Phoned mum when I got back she appears to be OK.
Back home did some knitting, Graham made Minestrone soup which we had with croutons for dinner followed by sardines and raw onions on peasant bread with a cuppa--yummy!
Made an apple pie for after and it tasted delicious.
To bed. Goodnight.
