Foggy Frosty Days

The weather after Christmas was a bit foggy and pretty cold. Mom had the whole week off but we didn't do a lot as we were both down with the cold that has been taking everyone out. (One of the reasons it has taken so long to update the blog is also due to the damn cold. I have even resorted to using an inhaler so I can walk for more than 2 steps without sounding like I smoke 100 a day!)
But we did head out to the garden centre one of the days for breakfast. Plus Dad's birds still need food.

Foggy drive.

They had left a lot of plants out. The frost was impressive but poor little flowers.


Cold!



Bird bath was frozen solid
Buddhas new hair do.



I also managed to catch up with Sarah, Will and the gorgeous little Ben. Who loved his new hat. 



One New Years Day I took everyone (mom, dad, Kerry and Craig) out to the vineyard for lunch and we hoped, a wine tasting. The tasting didn't work out (we need up having our own back at the house instead) but lunch was lovely. Unfortunately my phone seems to have lost all the photos from that weekend. On the evening we vegetated in PJs and were so full from lunch, we didn't bother cooking the planned meal. Which we then had on Sunday evening. :)

Boxing Day 2016

As usual on Boxing Day (after Kerry and Craig had gone home), we went for a walk to clear the cobwebs away. And Arley is a favourite. The church was open this time which was nice.





And we had a nice walk along the river. I didn't take many photos (too busy chatting).


mom and dad.

Christmas Day 2016

I finally got around to sorting out my photos (even though I did take many) from over Christmas. 
Tree!
New slippers
No one would wait.
Craig getting some hair.
Nuts!
Mom got a giant glass for xmas. And used it!
Joy of being gluten-free: I got my own 2 deserts!
Board games and cheese for the evening.
Loving her glass.
And relax.
