Christmas Play

Today Wednesday I had the privilage of going to see Bella's Christmas Play and what a joy it was to sit and watch the children perform. It was the Nativity and Bella played the Angel Gabriel and managed to hold 'The Star of Wonder' over the stable without it wobbling. All the children did amazingly well, after the play the candles were lit on the tree and the children gathered round to get the gifts they had made for their parents. Then they each received a gift from their teachers. We finished by having spiced fruit jucice and shortbread biscuits, delightful!Thanks to Bella, Layla and the teachers for the invitation. Layla and moi then went for lunch as Bella was having lunch with her teacher before going to see "The Shepherds Play". Layla and moi had lunch in a cafe and then I did some Christmas shopping. Monday I visited Fiona for a massage felt great. Thursday bought new Wellies for G and mo. Friday invited out for lunch by blipcentral good food and chat, thanks guys enjoyed the lunch. After lunch down to the 'rides' the one Bella wanted to take us on was kaput (breathed a sigh of relief) so we went on the Carousel (better that than nothing). Saturday lots of baking done--lovely mince pies (Nigella's pastry)Followed Nigella's recipe for the pastry -- fandabby:) Busy day---2230 just settling down to watch 'Geronimo' starring Gene Hackman and Robert Duval, enjoyed the movie Goodnight! Sunday set off for the Red Rose County to visit the memsahib, good journey down. She was pleased to see us. Nice dinner. We drive back North on Christmas Day to be with the family.
