Enjoying the run up to Christmas even though it's still November. In Hastings the outdoor ice rink opened this week and Scarlett brought home a letter letting us know she is playing Mary in the school Christmas play. That's right - you read it correctly - our little girl is playing Mary! Thrilled of Braybrooke Road. She only has two very short lines, but that's hardly the point. Florence meanwhile has been typecast as an angel in her nursery school performance. We have had our wood-burning stove lit all week in the sitting room. It went in on Rob's birthday and is brilliant, sending out enough heat to warm the whole house. We have put the American quilt on our bed and the girls have two duvets each in their duvet covers. Best of all, the weatherman announced this morning we might even have snow by Thursday. V excited. I go to London this week for a couple of days to meet up with old friends and magazine contacts in the hope of some freelance work for January, but in the meantime, although I've been a bit up and down about not working, I've decided to make the most of not being at work and looking forward to the weeks ahead. You cannot imagine how excited I am at the thought of the girls seeing snow for the first time. There's a Christmas fair on in the park this weekend and over the next few weekends we have a trip to London, friends to stay, the Cinderella panto, visiting Santa at Bodium Castle and of course the girls' school plays and Christmas Bazaar. Sleighs bells ring...are you listening.....?
