Christmas Spirit

Toddled down to the town with 'little sis' and stocked up on wool to keep me going now that the neckweamer is finished. The Salvation Army was playing carols and folk were scurrying around doing last minute shopping. We, however, found time to go to the TripAdvisor recommended tearoom for a hot chocolate.  mrsbrownstearooms.co.uk
Lovely to spend a bit of time doing things that many sisters take for granted.
There was more family time at the end of the afternoon as Dan and Alison had organised a treasure hunt around the town. 11 adults, 3 children and a bump (due any day now) followed the clues to find the makings of Santa Claus's and his reindeers' supper, a key for him to get in  (there's no chiminey) and stockings for the children. All in all we were out for nearly two hours. The kids kept going very well and enjoyed seeing a number of houses adorned in lights and of course finding the booty hidden in various friends' gardens. There was even a red robed, white bearded biker who went zooming by on a Honda Golding with an Xmas tree on the back.🎅
No time for a Christmas warmer sadly as I was due to meet Mum coming out of church so that I could get a lift back to the village.
We spent a quiet evening in front of the tv; a far cry from a traditional French start to Christmas.
