Almost finished yippee!!!!


Well the nativity is almost finished, gosh it took some doing. I have just made a stable from a shoe box, it's not bad and the main thing is the children will love it. Went to Hungary shopping yesterday, such a long day but got a lot of presents etc. Needed a wee rest today but have managed to do the ironing, clean my two budgies and wrap some presents, (small resta in between). , and knitting too.


People ask me do I get bored, gosh how could I???? Helen is coming tomorrow a friend who has lived here about 8 years, she is from Scotland, it will be nice to have a chat and show her my apartment.She took in a young couple of children from an orphanage when they were quite young, a boy and a girl. They fell in love and are now married , still being looked after though by Helen they live with her and are very happy.


It is very cold here -3 today but sunny and bright. Well I must get on and knit the sheep and donkey, more later bye everyone.

The Nativity in progress

Well it is almost time to go to bed but I may manage a shepherd, hope so. Still I feel pleased if I keep at it now it could , , just could be ready ffor Christmas eve !!!!!!!

Getting There

Hurrah!! I have at least got one thing done today towards Christmas, as you will see my Joseph is finished and it is only 4.20pm. Because I did not feel well at all , sick and tummy ache I thought it would be a good idea to rest and get on with the nativity. I will go and make a start on Mary now and of course baby Jesus, (must try to find some straw for the stable)!!!!!!! Also it is a very dull day today which is unusual , it is not often the sun doesn't shine. Be back to show you more I hope later or tomorrow.

Almost Christmas Again

Well it is almost Christmas, I can't believe I have been living here almost a year now. I went to UK on the 31st of October for almost three weeks and saw all my family and friends. I stayed with my sister Betty and her husband Tom and had a wonderful time and many laughs, lots of chats and catching up. I had all the things I miss , like fish and chips, pork pies, black pudding and crumpets. I went out for lunch in Marple Bridge with old school friends and for a chinese meal with my best friend. Also I spent a long weekend with my brother Bill and his wife Angie and had a lovely time with them, going into Manchester for a curry and a visit to the casino ( i won £10).Boy !! did I do some shopping and got presents for all the folks here and some tit bits for myself .

So now it is not long to go before the festive season and I must get a move on and try to finish the Alan Darts nativity I started to knit. We will get the trees from the piaza the same as last year. My friend in the village has made a lovely door ornament for me from all natural materials from the garden. I will go out shopping today and try to get some presents.

3000 shoe boxes arrived last week from UK , so a big thankyou to all of you, it brings so much pleasure and many smiles. It will be all hands to the pumps now to get them all distributed. Happy Christmas.
