Happy New Year

Last few days the frosty nights have meant beautiful blue skys to wake up to. Taking it easy, eating bit too much, walking up on the Downs and practising my racing skills on Tom's new scalelextrics. Kenny our black and white cat chases the cars round the track. Maybe he thinks they are a new type of mice.

Christmas Open Houses

The second signed tie by Stephen Fry sold today for about £50.00s and the presents we had left raised another £70.00s. So final amount about £500.00 for Action on Addiction and the Children's Society

My calendars found there way into the Handmade House in Ditchling

Somewhere snowy

My small black cat is keeping me company, he likes to find something soft to sit on, a foot, anything will do..

Wondering what the market will be like tomorrow, being the Cliff Bonfire Society its probably going to be fun. Think i have 6 billion calendars i need to sell before the end of the year.. slightly misjudged the demand for them :o)

Christmas will be here far too soon.. longing to be somewhere snowy

Lucia

Tom, Ulla, Mona and me went to a Lucia service in Hove. At the end the completly dark church lit only by candles held by the choir filled by the haunting O Helga Natt. Afterwards dancing, coffee and cakes.
