I had hoped to be on holiday for six weeks. Swapping a NZ summer for winter in Europe, going to London, then Christmas in France with our daughter's in laws. We have now cancelled as my husband's mother has pancreatic cancer and it has spread to her liver.
We have had three months of family, laughter and fun. Mum is still active, up and about. I am taking to to watch our town Christmas parade next Saturday as all of her three offspring are on the local museum float, not as exhibits but as a tableau taking photographs.
We are making the most of every day and have hoards coming for Christmas.
On topic, I have made 26 crystal Christmas tree earrings for the women of the family We wear them all the time and they are always admired.
Cheers, Jan
