I know I’ve been gone for a while and this is my last post of 2020. Since my last offering, I’ve had a routine mammogram (that everyone of a certain age has in uk), a dental check up, my first flu jab and a very deep sports massage to sort my aches and pains out!
I’ve met my friend for much needed Haldon Forest walks and I’ve taken a couple of solitary walks around our lanes. I’ve got completely frazzled getting the Christmas presents and also putting six hampers together and then delivering them all to their recipients (they would normally be dished out at our usual Christmas get together). I haven’t even read any blogs recently either.
I’ve not had time to do any relaxing baking, other than to try some Cornish Fairings. They did spread too much, but tasted lovely and on reading a couple of reviews of the recipe, apparently other people had ‘spreadage’ problems too!
To top off a pretty ropey December, my daughter and her other half tested positive for COVID! She’s had a very tight, sore chest, which is thankfully tons better now. I think she is more annoyed about not tasting her food! Her partner didn’t have the chest thing, he had more flu symptoms. Their last day of isolation is Christmas Eve, so we shall have our traditional Christmas Eve cheese night by zoom. We’ve been dropping food parcels on her doorstep, along with some treats. I’ve been so worried about them both!
So the following photos are just snippets of the last few weeks. I wish everyone a very happy and safe Christmas and hope you can see your loved ones, even if it is only by FaceTime or Zoom.....so until next year, cheerio for now, Ann x
Merry Christmas to you and yours Ann, thank goodness your daughter and OH are on the mend x
ReplyDeleteThank you Sooze, yes, we’re very relieved! Happy Christmas to you and your hubby too! xx
DeleteToday has been the shortest day - so it's all looking brighter from now on; with vaccines and sunshine (maybe!) comes a very real hope that we can return to a more normal lifestyle in the New Year. I know I won't be rushing back into supermarkets or any crowded places but I hope to have days out in the car with a flask and some nibbles, to enjoy the quiet places and fill my lungs with wonderful fresh air.
ReplyDeleteI really hope your right! My father in law has had his vaccination, think Mum has hers in January. I’m planning on doing the same thing, I think.
DeleteHappy Christmas to you!
Have a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2021.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your daughter. It must be have been such a worrying time for you all and I imagine it came as a relief to know she's now on the mend.

Thanks Jules, it was long overdue!
DeleteYes, I was so anxious, as it affecting her chest, but she’s tons better today and has started deep cleaning her place!
