Magical Christmas

This will be my last post this year, What makes Christmas Magical? FAMILY. Our wee house was jam packed with family and friends this Christmas. Absolutely loved it. Traditional Boxing Day Bash was the usual fun, it was nice to have Linda and her daughter Alex from Oz. The look on Gael's face when Hazel presented her with an original Wishaw High School Concert Band T/shirt and then produced two Horns was priceless. It was most nostalgic for me to hear them play together again, it must be twenty odd years since they played together. My dad would have loved it, as they used to give him his own private concert at Christmas. It was nice to have the four youngest girls stay over, talk about ten in the bed, roll over.

Ice Age

This is now day twelve of being snowbound, it's getting a bit tiresome now, Haven't been to work all week as the schools are closed. The M8 from Glasgow to Edinburgh has been closed now for two days. I've been hibernating with my big bear for ages now. I never thought that I would ever pray for rain, but it sure would help the situation. Check out the icicles, they are all around our house and the tempreture dropped to -16% last night Brrrr!

Let it snow........

It started to snow last Saturday and it has continued all week, so we have been snowed in for nearly six days now and I feel I'm now going stir crazy. However I count my blessings as we have warm central heating and the Co-op is just across the road. This is the worst snowfall that I have ever seen

Gordon and I have shovelled the driveway at least four times, I thought at first it was pretty like a winter wonderland but I'll be glad to see the back of it as it is restricting my retail therapy and Christmas shopping and talking of Christmas I truly hope that it will be well gone, otherwise the family will not be able to make it home for the traditional Boxing Day Bash . God forbid, Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without the kids.
