I had a very festive pre-Christmas week in Glasgow and Norwich. It was Fergus’ 21st birthday so he spent the weekend with his pals and he looked a little worse for wear when Freya and I collected him on Sunday morning. Freya and I did a mini pub crawl in Glasgow with her boyfriend, George, and Nessie, of course.
I was a bit worried about the weather reports for our journey south but we had no problems at all.
Norwich was very cosy and festive - the Christmas lights were lovely and we had a pleasant wander around, buying sprouts from the market, trying to avoid slipping up on the icy pavements. Nella finished her first term at Uni with an A for her work and was full of enthusiasm for her course and her new friends, She has even got next year’s student house sorted out which is very exciting.
We have not been to Norfolk around Christmas time for years and we had a lovely time. When we got home to Crathes we found a lot of snow still on the ground and the river was quite frozen. It will be lovely to have all 3 of my children home for the week and we plan to decorate the tree and do lots of cooking together. I have not added any more stitching to my patchwork coat but there is no hurry to get it done. There are far more precious moments to enjoy with family and memories to make together.
