And so I return
Well, I'm back from Somerset feeling hale and hearty. It's nice to see the folks, but my dad's rennovation of the Kitchen had fallen well behind schedule. There were no curtains when I arrived and the sink hadn't been plumbed in. Strangely enough my mum wasn't happy.
We got the curtains up on Saturday, and the sink fitted on Sunday, but there was still no door closing off the kitchen from the cold and empty rooms in the rent of the house, so we spent christmas sitting in front of the small gas fire, wearing fleeces to keep the heat in.
But it was actually a really nice christmas - very relaxed, no real festiveness at all. I saw a lot of people we know in the village and caught up with people in the village club.
Now I'm back in Bristol, an d it's back to the usual routine.
