With all of the family here today, we exchanged presents and Snow Dog was by well received and is already loved.
Our eldest daughter had just the loveliest present from our youngest daughter. M’s cat died just a few weeks ago, aged 20 years 3 months and L made her this beautiful memory photo frame.
We still have some Nigella ( Love in a Mist) flowering in the front garden.
1 Heavy rain all night and I went out first thing to take these gorgeous photos of raindrops. Click to enlarge.

Fallen sepal with raindrops. This is my favourite today.
2 Today, Lucy and I used our Christmas present vouchers from KJ to have a massage each at St Michael’s Spa in Falmouth – beautiful smells and a great sense of relaxation.

3 While I was out, Mr S put the baby gates, the fireguard and the buggy back in the attic but he left the toys and the wet-suit that stay here on the stairs for me to see as I came in. Beautiful!

1 Mr S had his consultation with the specialist and the date for his gallstones op has been set for 29th December. Brilliant news because there’s no need to miss Christmas and he will be well to travel to Senegal for Daniel’s wedding in April.
2 Had enough time in Penzance afterwards to do a bit of shopping and managed to solve a couple of Christmas presents.
3 Spent the evening, since I couldn’t go to sing in the Cathedral, making the Kea Plumbrillo which is now setting. Also made 5 little jars of Kea Plum Jelly so all in all a very productive day!
