Back at home, every winter certain rooms in the cottage (well, there are only four / five rooms as it is) develop an irritating blush of mould on the corner walls and the stone lintels. This is the result of a combination of the cold temperatures outside, central heating inside and condensation. So, we will move some furniture and treat the walls and then wander into town for a coffee, because the treatment smells absolutely noxious and is best to be avoided. So a very glamorous Christmas Eve morning – not!
Despite being fairly prudent why is it that all the basic goods run out at the same time? So, stocking up with sauces, condiments, oils and baking ingredients was added to the mix, but I’m hoping that a “big shop” won’t be necessary for a number of weeks! I hate shopping.
Well, the kettle’s on for another cuppa before the onslaught of practical activity... Righty-Oh-Ho-Ho…. I will finish off by wishing you a fabulous Christmas and even better 2023!

Well done, Rosie - you seem to have everything well under control. We look forward to seeing everyone on Boxing Day - it’s been a while since we had a ‘Gathering’. Not exactly a ‘Counting’ as in ‘Cold Comfort Farm’…

Oh - I DID manage to negotiate a pay-rise / change in scale. It actually is a pretty good deal for me what with the 30 hours per week and flexibility.
