No crafting to show you but wanted to say Happy New Year.
Almost cleared dining table/ aka desk after festivities :-) cloth still on and here is a colouring book I bought on spur of moment but didn't do anything with in end.
Where I could visited everyone last week - there were one or two blogs I couldn't get on to. Hope everyone had a wonderful time.
On 23rd Dec we went up to Yorkshire to spend Christmas with our eldest son, daughter in law Carolynn and her parents and of course our gorgeous grandsons harry and Sam.
He's been!!!!
Gorgeous starter
A selfie of us all at the table

Matthew and yours truly ( hair a bit flat after hat from cracker :-)
We had a wonderful time up there. Lovely food and company and our grandsons were delightful.
We returned on Boxing Day as did our family from Yorkshire and then went to our youngest son and family for Boxing day/ evening. Had another super time with both sons, their wives and all our grandchildren - what other present could we ask for ( though we did get some lovely ones as well)
On Sunday DH and I played host and hostess. everyone came to us along with my brother, his wife and some friends. have to say we had a really good time - I finally got to bed at half past one on Monday morning!!!
Grandsons allowed some time on their ipads next morning
After a walk on Monday morning - eventually, when we were all up and dressed we went a walk - well all except DH who is poorly again :-( then son' wife and grandchildren went home :-( boo.
DH and I chilling and I am going to watch Downton - recorded and have tried to avoid any references to it :-)
Fairly short and sweet - as Julia would like. I will pop by and visit my favourite blogs, all who visit me and those ending with same number as me.
Enjoy your celebrations if you are having any and a very Happy New Year.
What wonderful photos of your fabulous family having holiday times together. Very pretty you are! I'm glad to see your sweet face in your blog.

Lovely photo reminders of a great time, Anne. You certainly know how to fill your time - boredom is obviously NOT a word in your dictionary! Well done. I should imagine you are now sleeping it off.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and your good wishes. We had a truly blessed Christmas - a very precious time. The family all have gone home today, so now the house is quiet, but not yet completely sorted. But it was very special to have everyone here with John at home - not having to drive back and forth along the A55 was SUCH a blessing.
Take care. God bless.
