Christmas has arrived ....

I am finally getting there.  Cards made and posted.  All presents ordered and arrived, or purchased.


Some wrapped - I'm not totally organised!  Quite a few to deliver still, but I think it's under control.


I decorated the tree and house at the weekend.  I love the theory of decorating the house all together, but in practice it has to be done my way!   So best, I do it all myself, whilst the boys are out.  And they can say nice things when the come back to a prettified, twinkling house.  












It was the Winter Concert last night.  I love hearing the children perform, particularly having seen some of them grow up.  Some started playing the recorder at 5.  It could be said that those initial performances could be a little painful at times, but they have matured in to quite accomplished musicians. 

Tonight is the "School Disco".  Goodness those teachers earn their money.  After supervising house sports matches this afternoon, they then supervise 600 teenagers at a disco - keeping them in the designated areas, and ensuring no alcohol is smuggled in!  Who would want that responsibility at the end of a long day, at the end of a long term?

It's the last day of term tomorrow.  We are looking forward to not having to set the alarm for a couple of weeks.

Sharing my decorated home.

Merry Christmas!
