Merry Christmas!!

From my family to yours.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year.

May you always have a star to guide your way through the darkness.

Early Christmas present!

Exhibit 1 - My messy entrance hall, bags galore EVERYWHERE

Ignore the Dell box, someone saw fit to just leave it there, because of course that's an appropriate place to leave it!!

Exhibit 2 - Our new storage chest, the first step towards a (hopefully) better organised hall.

This one is for all of niblets bags and stuff plus maybe my bag too if it fits!! Yes the cat has claimed it as her newest sitting spot, it'll be fun for a day or two and then she'll try to work out how to get into it once she realises it opens.

We have one more box and a sideboard that a friend is giving us to come. I'm hoping by weekend's end (or at least before christmas) my hall will have returned to some semblance of tidy!

A couple more just cos she's funny!

 

Aren't the little crossed paws classic! A duchess in the making.

Eternity In An Hour

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour

William Blake - Auguries of Innocence

I'm a little late but stop, just for a moment.

In America and Canada October 15th is Pregnancy and
Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

But all over the world there are families with empty arms
and broken hearts, my own extended family and close friends
included. So pause, light a candle, take stock of your lot,
hug your kids and loved ones and remember how blessed we are
to have them here, because time is so very very fleeting.

Here Tis

Well here it is in all it's minimalist glory. It's weird how at random moments the last few months I've come up with an idea for a blog title or a post but never gone through with it. Till now. A little flash of light after a conversation with someone on if I'm Aussie or English (mainly related to cricket and some burnt stuff in a trophy of course).

Well I'm half and half. All sandgroper on me mam's side and all barmy army on me pa's. I have no single allegiance, that would be boring and that's just not me. This is a good way to show off my gorgeous, not so little anymore, man and just put my thoughts into words.

Welcome to my crazy, mixed up world. It's kinda fun for the most part. SG
