to you all, from us all.
Nearly Wettest Christmas Wishes, but not quite. This morning, we got up to find water rushing past the front porch where water shouldn’t be. The Council came and unblocked the brook where it ran under the road, thereby stopping it from running over the road and into our house.
And we were brought a heap of sandbags, just in case. As Inspector of Works, staying dry just inside the front door, Lottie is ensuring that they are properly in place. She is wearing her stern and disapproving face.
Indoors, we are ready. The Gardener’s lovely daughter stayed overnight; we exchanged gifts and enjoyed each other’s company.
My own Lovely Son and girlfriend are having Christmas on their own and will be here just after Boxing Day, so The Gardener and I are having our first Christmas together on our own too.
I hope your day will be filled with love and laughter, and all manner of good things, as I know mine will be.
Happy Christmas.
PS Millie and Florence send you Christmas smooches under the mistletoe.

And very warm wishes to you, The Gardener and the loyal troops.
Our wet season seems to have arrived and that makes us gardening folk very happy. Lunch will be next door, on a very broad deck with plenty of cover should it rain.
Geiger is doing secretarial work as penance for her damage the other night (see blog), but the greetings are from us all.

Have a wonderful time, warm and dry – apart from the odd glass or two, perhaps.

Have a wonderful time, all of you, from the three of us.
(The choice of dog/cat was taken out of my hands a few months ago with the arrival of a tiny, hungry stray, who just kept coming back. Polly now has her paws firmly under the table, on the sofa, my lap, everywhere really! )

Oh! Happy, merry everything!
You apparently own innumerable objets d’art and you display them spectacularly.
