Me Myself and I

 As our daughters are now all grown up and have their own families, we decided to be different this year and go away for Christmas. This was planned before covid overtook all our lives but we were fortunate enough to be going from a tier 2 area to another tier 2 area. The Lake District was our choice and it was fabulous, a cosy old cottage with all mod cons, in the middle of nowhere. We had a brilliant time.

 The builders are making mud pies. Big ones. Actually they are digging footings and building a wall. The house is dusty, the dogs are dusty, I am dusty. The robo vac is earning its keep, with much bleeping to be emptied. Our drive looks like a branch of Wickes and the compost bin has a healthy layer of builders tea bags.
