Wishing all a very Merry Christmas

Wishing all our friends and family near and far a wonderfully Merry Christmas .

We hope that you are able to have a lovely time with your closest and that we can all meet up again soon in 2021.

Our Christmas Day isn’t quite going to be how we had planned as we were due to Be onboard P&O Britannia in the Caribbean celebrating our 20th Wedding anniversary.

However, as with likely all of you we are at home enjoying the coziness of the open fire and another terrific Christmas dinner courtesy of Mrs R 👌🍾🍷🍹

Have a wonderful time and we look forward to meeting you again soon for dinner, drinks, a dog walk or under whatever circumstances we can ❤️

20 years ago today……

We were preparing to say our “I do’s” and begin the journey of our lives….

20 years later and we are sat at home, rain outside, the kids still in bed and we can’t go out for dinner tonight…

Not quite the plan that we had for today – we were expecting to be aboard a fabulous cruise ship, sailing the Caribbean, enjoying family and of course the wonderful food and beverages.

Maybe one day we will be able to celebrate in that way, but today, we are going to enjoy being together, walking the hounds in the rain…

Hopefully we will be able to host a celebration in the summer in the garden instead where we can celebrate with friends and family – fingers crossed…. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Christmas has begun in Kirkby Grange🎄

Vicky finished off the main Christmas tree on Sunday, having collected it from Costco on Saturday. Sadly, it does not immediately appear to have the hallmarks of the usual Costco quality in that it has dropped more needles in the first 24 hours than they usually do for the entire 6 weeks that they are in the lounge….

Anyway, here are the finished trees in place around the house this year 🙂 Enjoy

Rest in Peace Great Grandma Rust

Grandma / Great Grandma passed away at 3:55am this morning comfortably in her sleep.

Dad / Granddad and Grandpa / Great Grandpa have been anxiously waiting on this day for some time.

She is being taken to Lawrence Funeral home in Bell Hall, Halifax and the funeral will be coming shortly thereafter.

We will be under the more strict COVID-19 funeral arrangements of course as and when that funeral takes place.

Christmas is on the way…

We have pushed forward with Christmas given the fun and games that the year has brought us all so far. 

So, we began the task of getting the decorations out and beginning the process of decorating the house.

We started in the office…

… and moved on to the tree in the snug….

…. and we will continue next weekend …..

Merry Christmas folks 🎄🍾🎁
