Since it is January 6th and therefore twelth night we spent the morning taking down the Christmas Decorations. Now the house looks quite bare and not so colourfu.
We have said that we will put them up before we go away next year, sp we will have them a bit longer. This year we did them when we came back and they seem to have been uop no time.
I love our decorations, we have amassed a lot over the years, and on the whole the more you pay the better the quality. My favourites are mainly from America and places like Past Times and Liberty's. I have a little set of of tiny wooden ones that I got years ago and I paid £1.50 for them. Now this was a lot of money in the seventies but they still look good all these years later. our American ones are mainly wooden ones, and look great every year.
Poor VT has to put them up in the cupboard in the bedroom and each year he say don't buy any more but of course we do..well I do!
Nights are drawing out a bit these nights, it is now 4.40 and it is just going dark outside. VT has been putting the tree away in the shed probably with little Rusty watching him.
Woolworths has closed its last stores finally today. It showed the one in Liverpool shutting on the news. So sad! They have actually been running for 100 years this year, such a shame. To say nothing of the 27,000 people who have lost their jobs.
Tonight we are having:
Green Thai Curry with Quorn pieces and reduced fat coconut milk.
Rice..one packet between us.
Stir fry vegetables.
