Happy Christmas

Hello everyone!! Just to wish all who read my blog a very Happy Christmas, Sarbatori Fericite!! and a healthy new year.

I am feeling a little better and hope to celebrate with my family and extended family. We are all going to Mariana's and Nelu's for Christmas eve , the Romanians big celebration is on Christmas eve and usually lot's of carol singers and good food. Christmas day is at Johanna and Philips house in Dorabant's and I hear we are having goose and lot's more goodies, I just hope I can do it justice.

Parties for Yasmina and Rosie

Well I have made it at last to do my blog, the past few weeks have been endless trips to the eva clinic for treatments on my back. It is a lot better than it was and now waiting to see the surgeon in Timisoara on Wednesday.

We had a small tea party for Yasmina at my apartment ( the girls did all the work) it was easier for me to have them here than to travel to Kathy's and back. You will see from the pictures they had a good time and Yasmina loved the doll and push chair from Granny!!! The following week it was Rosanna's birthday , we put Cd's on of all the children's songs and danced to " in and out the dancing bluebells" m "The wheels on the bus go round and round " etc etc. I managed to make a trifle and used two chocolate Swiss rolls to make a cake for Rosie.A good time was had by all including little Daniela (Irina's daughter) .

Some how I have managed to get most of my Christmas presents with the help of Kathy , Amy and Gloria. I hope to be able to wrap some today. The Christmas boxes have arrived from UK 800 I think. I also had a visit from Rosemary who is an old friend, she spends a lot of time here helping the children. She brought some of her visitors with her , they were lovely people , Kevin I remembered from Kathy's wedding and two nurses who are a delight and have done a lot of good work here.

The weather is very mild , most days warmer than Britain, ( very unseasonal) we are all hoping it will snow for Christmas. The Primarie looks fantastic with a really lovely tree and a nativity , crowds of people go to have a look every day and in the evening as it shines at night. I must go now and start to wrap presents and maybe ring my sister.!!
