Christmas around the corner!

Only a few days until Christmas....boy the years go by so fast! Really looking forward to it only problem is everyone seems to know what they are getting this year. Jayme got her new wardrobe and dresser, Jess an IPad and Roger a new laptop. I got my present when we went to Canada in November...an IPad mini and my new Silhoutte Cameo!! So exciting.

 

Here is our Christmas tree this year love the mesh garland I bought in Canada along with the new strings of bright lights.

Dad's 75th!

It's Dad's 75th birthday in December so Roger and I met up with Brian and Louise to surprise him. We flew in on Thursday 13th November and stayed until Tuseday 19th. I was so looking forward to Christmas shopping and although we did some my shoulder was killing me so I couldn't spend much time out and about.

 

I am so glad we went, Dad was so surprised and happy we were there. We had a terrific time!

Been so quiet

There hasn't been anything to really write about the last few weeks except that I am going to Vancouver for 5 days in November to surprise Dad on his 75th birthday. It will be great to see everyone and I am so looking forward to doing some Christmas shopping while I'm there. I love shopping in Canada at this time of year!

The sad farewell

Unfortunately like all good things our holidays and Ann's visit have come to an end. We took Ann to the airport with the hopes she would catch the 10.25 am direct flight to Vancouver. As it turns out not only did she catch the flight but she travelled first class!!  Lucky lady!!

It was fantastic having Ann here for the past couple of weeks, we had a great chance to catch up something we haven't done for many years. It's great to see how happy she is now and to hear about all the fun she is having all the time in retirement.

It was a very sad occasion to say goodbye but I know we will see each other again soon.

Love you Auntie!

Leeds Castle

Yesterday we came home and spent the afternoon catching up on laundry and checking flights for Ann's return journey. She decided the best flight to try was on Thursday morning so we felt we really needed to take her to Leeds Castle before she went home.

Leeds Castle is such a gorgeous castle with tremendous grounds. We spent the entire day exploring before heading home.
