We have been very busy with Christmas preparations and time with the children, sleepovers and child minding, which has now been joined by the arrival of full blown colds for Maria, myself and Alison, our granddaughters, Bridie and Joseph having all been sniffly and full of fruity coughs last week and into the weekend. It did make me very aware of covid and the spread of the virus, how easy it is to spread these things when in close proximity. It's one thing with a cold though and a very different prospect with coronavirus, especially with the vaccine in sight.
Alison and I have flu injections booked for Friday having been contacted by the surgery by phone and we are both going to take up the offer.
We have had some lovely sunshine amidst showers and some heavy rain and have managed to get out for walks around Cranborne, the local park and down to the woods. I have been collecting materials from the woods for wreaths and to make reindeer, as well as planning to go down and cut up a recently fallen tree for a lovely big yule log.
Paul has had his gazebo up and has a heater to allow a bit more mixing over Christmas and I am going to follow his lead in putting ours up and using the fire pit to allow us to spend some time outside and to burn the big log over a few days. I am also looking forward to making it look festive, trying to match the great job Alison has done indoors which looks lovely.
