      We had a lovely time at the farm shop and of course spent more than we intended but it's amazing in there,
      We also had lunch in the new Orangery they have built, it's huge.

      Well I ended up with two ornaments and a small nativity scene,
      I'm not religious but I have always wanted a nativity scene,
      The ones I have looked at are all made of resin and not great or they are too big,
      This is sort of pottery I think and just the right size , wasn't too bad a price either, cheaper than I expected out of there.
      So I'm happy bunny 😁

        Hallo everyone, we have the rain today.
        I was lucky enough to get into the work shop at the silver smith! I have been before with GD1 and really enjoyed it, when I saw it on the list of the workshops we could sign in for I hoped I would be in time for a place, I was. I have been this morning, there were 4 of us, only me from the organisation I do the coffee etc for. We managed to make 2 rings each, amazing how good it all went! I made them for GD2, they will share them though as they love their rings. I want to take GD2 to a workshop for her birthday, I will get that organised.

        Tomorrow morning at a garden centre we have coffee, show etc as a thank you for all the help. I read that there are 10,000 volunteers in the village alone, all different organisations, there were 2 ladies there this morning from the new hospice here in the village.

        Oma, you must have so many decorations for Christmas!

        I took an Ibrufen before I went so I would be able to stand to do the the soldering etc, I managed but they make me sleepy!

          Been raining here since 6o’clock last night! Glad it wasn’t like this yesterday as I was dog sitting! First time at mine and he seemed to enjoy it. He was in and out most of the afternoon and found that he could stand up at the front gate and watch everyone go past! I got him in before the children came home from school. Didn’t want them to be terrified by a very large dog peering at them from above the gate! Or worse still barking at other dogs!

          Art this morning. Time always passes very quickly when I’m there. It’s interesting to see what the others are doing too. We’re a very supportive group and our teacher is great for advice.

          Out with DD tomorrow on a sourdough making course. I’ve done it already, but my bread which tastes great, is like a brick! Hopefully the teacher can put me right!

          Busy knitting the Christmas topper for one of the postboxes in the village. The theme for this one is the gingerbread house. It’s starting to take shape but it’s a bit fiddly. I’m having to adapt the pattern I have as it’s for a house almost three times bigger! I’ll get there!

          Have a good evening and hope you’re all managing to stay dry! X

            Well here I am at last

            Daisy, your Sainsburys drivers seem to have a habit of arriving early!

            That's lovely Oma. My mum loved nativity scenes.

            Best to stay inside on such a miserable day Plant, we have ,and will only be venturing out in the car to our friend's house.

            Lizzie, I have always fancied having a go at a silver workshop.

            WG I love the postbox toppers.

            Up early with little E (although I was awake anyway) GS1 arrived this morning. DD3 was swimming and having a sauna with a friend then arrived at ours for a shower and lunch. They are having GS2 overnight, so she and little E stayed here until it was time to collect him. Once they had gone GS1 wanted me to watch Ghosts with him so we watched a few episodes.
            He has gone now, we are going to our friends G and A for tea and a catch up later.

            This a a change to our original plans for tonight. SIL2's band is performing in pub and we bought tickets back in September. This morning OH and I realised we were actually both dreading it. I was awake last night thinking about it. It's a very small crowded venue, and OH should not be doing it. I only booked to support SIL and didn't really want to go, certainly not enough to go alone. This morning I told DD and SIL and explained and they both totally understood. SIL thought he had buyer for our tickets so I have emailed them to him.
            SIL's dad messaged me about where we were thinking of parking etc, so I had to let him know we are not going. He said it is almost all standing which he isn't happy about - he's older than we are. I suggested he ask his DS to save him one of the few seats! So, with standing, the infection risk, a wet night and no place to park we are not sorry we are not going!
            G and A had invited us round but we had originally declined due to going out tonight. Once we decided not to go OH messaged them to ask if the invitation still stood, and they said yes. We are looking forward to tonight now rather than dreading it!
