Happy New Year!

 Wishing you all a happy and definitely healthier new year : )

We have had a peaceful week since Christmas. We had a lovely day at our daughter's on Christmas day with her family and other "older" relatives. (Our other daughter and our son got together so that the children were with each other.) My daughter's family are vegetarian and she had cooked a fabulous nut roast with brazil nuts and cranberries and various sorts of vegetables which were very posh and very very tasty. After we came home in the evening, my husband said that it was so good that he had not actually missed having meat. That is incredibly high praise!!

We went to our son's on Boxing Day and had a fun afternoon with our grandchildren. I do enjoy seeing them : ). We were supposed to go to our older daughter's yesterday for New Year's Day but smallest grandson went down with chicken pox on Friday so obviously the visit didn't happen. Apparently his nursery school has been quite literally decimated by chicken pox so this was a problem waiting to happen. Daughter is supposed to be going back to work this week so we are waiting to see what happens.

We have had a lovely break from coffeeshop duties but they are starting tomorrow again. I shall have to spend three days this week on coffeeshop instead of the usual two so I will be tired by the end of this coming week. However, I shall look back with pleasure on this week just ended as we have had a lovely rest and done practically nothing : )
