We’ve been sorting out lots of the toys kept for LiveWires and have been deciding where they are all to go now everyone has grown out of them. The kite has been claimed by our son for his twins, LiveWires 5 and 6. It came to us many years ago from family in America and was much loved and well used. I even have the original instructions that came to us in about 1983, such an unusual personalised present that the kids all loved and which gave the whole family lots of fun.
Our old silver candle snuffer is being used every day when the advent candle has burned the day’s date away.
We have an advent calendar that gives us two little truffles each day – a calendar for couples!
P.S. The big storm that is battering Cornwall and much of the UK today has been named Bram. In Cornish, Bram means ‘fart’ which has amused many of us as we hear the howling winds.

Crazy storms aren’t they, such waves in Penzance and around the coast.I’ve only seen photos – we didn’t venture out.
The advent calendar for two is from Hotel Chocolat, quite pricey but a real treat to share every day. 🙂

Bram looks like a bit of a HOWL. Stay inside if you can.

Indeed! We have been staying in. Had a new window fitted last week and so glad it was in before this storm arrived. 🙂
