Grandpa was on the phone checking whether a delivery of wine was from me or not. Having sent a few parcels his way, I questioned myself but I already covered the Dundee gifts.

I’ve over ordered, for the dogs, this year. T has several huge gifts but as he chews things to destruction it replaces a lot of things he’s already sent to the toy graveyard.

Life is fairly different this year. We usually head off for different places before Christmas but we are doing much more here this year.

We even watched the Tractor Trail last night – over 150 farmers tractors,buses, vans and cars decorated with lights and inflatables and waving farmers and their families. All in aid of the Garden House Hospice Charity so buckets and helpers were hopeful of cash, which we don’t really have much of these days. But there was a sign with a QR code if you’re technically minded.
