Thankfulness

Hi all, cold miserable day in the coastal household, the weather is vile and we have a setback in the form of an estate agent not being well enough to visit to tell us about the new house, bless her, fingers crossed she gets better soon.

3 days to go until Christmas, and this year i am feeling very mellow about the whole experience. As we don't have much spare money this year, due to saving for the new house, me and the hubs have only had 3 people to buy for. That's all. We aren't buying for each other until we move and get settled and can start saving again. But that's okay. Because we have each other, we have a warm (ish) house, we have food and we have a roof over our heads. That;s all we need right now.

I am feeling pretty thankful for my uncle John, without whom we wouldn't have a turkey. If it wasn't for him we were just going to have a small chicken, but he insists on tradition bless his soul.
I am feeling thankful that John took the time today to deliver a brown paper bag. Full to the brim with parsnips, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Just that bag.
What a sweetheart.

On friday he also brought me this, to sit under my tree, a Z gauge replica of The Mallard, as he knows i love steam trains. The picture makes it look bigger, but it truly is minuscule! :) It makes me happy :)
