Goodness me...

We had a delayed Christmas, I woke at 4.30a.m. Christmas day to find our youngest DD ill with gastro and then at 8a.m got a text from other DD to say she was sick as well, so their gift opening was delayed to Boxing day and we had a quiet Christmas lunch with my mum, brother and DH's mum. But more was to follow, that evening DH and I came down with the same thing!! Needless to say it's been a very quiet time for us, everyone is recovering now, but this did cause me to stop and think of the people in the world that may not have had the best Christmas, be it through sickness or suffering, and I'm hopeing that in 2011 something wonderful will happen for them...

**MERRY CHRISTMAS**

I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I'm off to bed now or Santa wont come!!

Five Days to Christmas...

It's been a while since I've visited, I ended up taking the goose off the eggs, she would have faded away while being determined to hatch her eggs, sadly none of them were fertile, but she has settled back to daily life, grazing again. I must say she, the gander & the duck have been thoroughly enjoying the wet weather after the long spell of drought we've had. We have an unusual menagerie here, not really a working farm as such, I seem to manage to end up with whatever is needing a home as a sanctuary! But I do love all my needy little pets!...
For Christmas this year it just going to be my Mum, 1 brother, M.I.L, the 2 D.D's, hubby & I, just a quiet family gathering, then I'm hopeing I can get myself organized enough to acheive something special in the new year! If I don't get back here before Christmas I wish everyone a "Happy, Healthy & Prosperous Christmas and New Year". X X
