I keep a record of cards sent and received ,if two years have gone by and no cards to me, I assume people have shortened their list , so don’t send again.
I don’t like emails instead of cards really.
My list us at least half what it used to be, it is high cost of postage really I feel. .
A bright sunny day here, bright but cold!
Well daughter is considering retiring ,a huge outlet is opening not far away, it will be hard to compete, their strengths are their friendly attitude, helpful advice,complete honesty and fully trained skilled mechanics .
They are now the only small outlet for many many miles ,all others have gone under .They can’t do all the services people want to book in now ,people are having to travel a long way too.
My son in law has had a big health problem ,so I can see them closing .
Just like the corner shops closing when the huge supermarkets open branches.
What a pity, they have been consistently the number one dealer for many years.
I won’t go down at Christmas ,they need some peace and quiet and being with the little ones is always a delight for them.
I might see them in the New Year but weather will dictate.
Not made my Christmas stuff yet! Not like me!
It will get done ,have all the ingredients .
Just the cake and mincemeat ,can’t face a Christmas pudding after last year’s “drama” —- but a really good trifle or Boodle’s Orange Fool will be nice.
We can’t face lunch and tea, so Christmas dinner is at three O’clockish
Then a light supper ,Turkey butties, mince pies , etc.
It works for us.
Look after yourselves .
Viktoria.
