I have started collecting bits for the arts and crafts box that I make up for my Grandchildren, each year they love to make things for Christmas and I take pride in using and showing off their work. I have their pieces on my Christmas tree and hung among the Christmas decs, they are really pleased when they come round on Christmas day and show their Parents what they have made; they keep their things secret until Christmas day so I don't put them out until Christmas Eve. It's a fun time with them and it keeps me and my Husband young at heart, we get very messy with glue and glitter and we have a really good laugh.
This year will be different now I have retired I will have more time for everything, it has usually been a rush because I would only have two days off at Christmas; yes this year will be special.
It was a very cool and crisp day today, we wrapped up warm and set out to Manchester to do some shopping and of course start my Christmas list. Oh if only we had the money what lovely things are in the shops now, we had a lovely lunch and just chatted and laughed together you wouldn't believe that we have been married 41 years. I can spend more time with my husband now, we go out most days and sometimes we just get on a train and end up somewhere really nice. We are only a bus ride from the country side and this is the best time, the leaves on the trees are golden brown and look so lovely. We walk for miles just taking in the surrounding and then we head off home full of the day we have had.
