... I'm done at last, everything organised and sorted for Christmas, shopping done, food bought and planned, gifts wrapped and cards written and surprisingly posted within the limits of last posting dates!
All that remains now is to get my self out of bed at 5am tomorrow morning, drag PG with me and get our butts on the A1 with some degree of consciousness. We are headed for my sisters home in Leicester for the day. The drive does not fill me with glee, I have done worse but Scotland to Leicester and back in a day is not really my idea of fun......thankfully we both drive so it's only something in the region of 300 miles each and the few hours between journeys with my sister and my nieces will be worth it.
As we leave tomorrow evening for our return the rest of the family will be converging for Christmas, with luck we might see my parents for a few minutes and then it's back on the road. The temptation to stay will be strong. No doubt my eldest niece will hang around my waist, as is her way, in her sweet endeavour to keep us there. Not helpful!
Somehow this plan seemed a good idea weeks ago when it was made! Sitting here listening to a gale blowing outside and with the reminder of my man-flu still refusing to depart my body it seems something less than the best idea I have had!!
And so, this tiny corner of the blogosphere will be unusually quiet tomorrow (did I hear a sigh of relief there?), but normal service will be resumed on Christmas eve.....though perhaps not at my usual 7-8 am time slot!

Lol....I don't know what true Scots eat but I think nothing any different, at Christmas we just eat the normal Turkey stuff etc, tho as a veggie I give the bird a wide berth.....apart from that I eat chocolate and cake :o)
Saw our names on your post and left you a comment :o)
Drive Carefully and enjoy!
Take the camera - you always catch some great pics.
Enjoy the adventure.... just enjoy....relax, drive like hell, but enjoy!!!
PS. My blog looks broken, so you need to get back toot sweet to fix the thing...!!!!! (laughing here). I might even be tempted to start rooting around... trying to figure the thing out.... but there is only so much time before the end of the year arrives...
Yipes. The neice hanging onto her auntie - that was me. Y'mean it doesn't work? :) Have fun and drive safely.
