I had some very difficult news last week, a bereavement that I can only describe as extremely challenging. To be honest, I have been holding off posting because it has been so hard. I should add, we are all still here, Damian, Lula, our pets, me, safe and sound and all together but life for me has been been eventful and deeply upsetting.
I will still be around online, reading and looking, posting erratically. I will not be commenting, responding to post or emailing very much just at the moment. I am having to spend a huge amount of time having conversations that I would rather not have and time disappears in great big chunks so I have to save what remains for self protection.
We are wrapped up warm in our little house. Work is nearly finished for us all and I will be having a quiet Christmas with D & L, my mum, brother, sister and nephew.
L has been busy stitching and baking with D. I am so proud of her Frosted Pumpkin Dessert of the month, all finished.
Wishing you happy times x
