An advert on the radio yesterday said, "Make your house your home this Christmas". Hannah replied, with her 12 year-old sarcasm, "I don't think so"! We are really looking forward to spending Christmas this year with all the Greaneys, up with Adrian's mum and dad in Norfolk - all 14 of us! Mind you, they are still finishing off their own two-year-project house renovations and haven't yet fitted the kitchen! The heat is on. But at least they now have proper bathrooms - bonus. Bob has put a lot of thought (hopefully while getting on with his building) into delegating tasks to all the grandchildren: Hannah is in charge of fancy serviette folding, Emma the music, cousin Cameron (supervised by Health & Safety trained dad) candles, Jessica the table decorations, Oliver the table place names. And nearly-three-year-old Abigail? Being cute, I reckon! She can help me with the games.
Today is a lovely sunny day (15 degrees C) with a beautiful blue sky. (Things seem so much easier to handle in the sunshine.) Adrian is finally able to get on with tiling the garden room roof, and we have two builders here today (Saturday) trying to catch up with fitting the roof panels. We are hoping by the skin of our teeth to stick to the schedule of roof tillers and windows being fitted in the second week of December.
Pictures to follow ...
