Christmas Day ( Now Updated)
I’ve just got back to Bwthyn Y Llan
I’ve seen my sisters and their husbands , my nephews, niece, and great nieces and it was a loud cacophony of Christmases missed.
I’ve had a lovely day, a bit of cry on the way home and have watched a pitch perfect Queen’s Speech with a nice cup of builder’s tea
The dogs have climbed aboard, as they always do
And just like that, Christmas is almost over

The Queen’s Message
If Winnie was still here, this is how she would look this morning
I hope everyone reading this will have at least a peaceful day.
It’s been a funny old two years, has it not?
Slightly easier of late, but still a time
of challenges and some sadness.
But like the shopworn Carlotta out of Follies we can say
I’m still here
Happy Christmas
