Glad to see we have Christmas in our sights and heart even if it seems so far away 

  I will be going in to work to prepare the shops at the end of this week . Mixed feelings as we need the cash but i love being at home  

  Weather here is strong winds and stormy skies but i prefer this to the heat the summer will bring . Ive decided that throughout the summer i will have my christmas books out and research recipies for the holiday season  

  So glad i have my CAY friends to share my christmas thoughts  

 Invited to a party next week and i have to dress up as .... Barry White !!! Will use my Dutch friends makeup that her daughter used at christmas as a black Pete or Santas helper in Holland  

 Love to you all enjoy your week
