Well here we are in the red rose county or raincounty as unkind yorkshiremen would call it,everybody is out shopping etc. I am looking out at "coronation street"and thinking of sunny little houses on the prairie,even the kitten has gone into hiding,and no sky to watch football,talked to Sonia on the phone and it seems a little snow has fallen in the midwest,hope it clears before we get there,Montana is starving and having to fill up on chocs. and cakes!!
The cold given to us generously by Sam the pom,is being passed along albeit not purposely,hope the neighbours are all having a jolly lincolnshire Christmas,and farmer joe eating lots of cake.
washed down with a little sweet sherry.I think that its very easy to get used to sparsely populated environments,as it all seems too crowded here,and very impersonal,although the locals do understand a good yorkshire accent,which is to their credit.
I have been delegated a role lettering place names for tomorrows Christmas lunch party,which task is complete and now just a little blogging to do,very interesting as I am writing this on the computer but using a big tv screen as a monitor ,thanks to Andrew who is the computer expert. For some reason that bit came out in italic form,but ever resourceful I fathomed out what I had done,intellect will out!They are back now and haranguing about not washing pots and stuff is order of the day,shame they have no space for a dishwasher,they are a boon and many a blokes hands have been rescued from redness by these wonderfull machines.
Thats it for now so Merry Christmas to all and if you want that in politically correct terms Merry Christmas.

It is xmas day and we have been visited by the lovely Naomi who had to get out of a warm bed to take her mum to work. She helped us open our pressies had a drink of cranberry juice, took a jam and lemon tart for later and has gone home to watch the film Hairspray which she has on DVD. We are off to Muneers at 1-30. Will have to teach you how to do a David Copperfield re washing up??? Ask Fuad, I have A levels in it now.
Merry Christmas to all over the border.
Believe me...Montana is not starving in any sense of the word (I even baked bread this week).
