If I was going to continue with last week‘s theme on Christmas hosting I might mention that it’s annoying to arrive somewhere and find there is no food in the house and nowhere to sleep. Fortunately I found a mattress and some bedding and made myself a little nest up on a landing.
It is very frustrating to realise how much of my stuff is still here in Aberdeenshire but I don’t have room for it in Devon.
I am trying to work out how I am going to fit a couple of boxes, 2 adult children, their Christmas presents and a dog in my very small car for the trip back to Glasgow.
It was a bit weird being in the old family house for the festive season but we all got on pretty well.
The house is not being looked after since there’s quite a lot of damp condensation and the kitchen ceiling looks like it might fall in at any moment. However, we did have quite a few laughs, very good food and some toasty log fires.
The children and I went on a couple of lovely walksand Nessie had a wonderful time with a choice of two sofas.
To be honest, I am not sure how many more Christmases will be like this one but the children were so delighted to be in their childhood bedrooms that a little bit of discomfort for me was no big deal;)
