December 26th

Dear Heidi,

Now we have all celebrated Christmas, in one way or another. It sounds like you have all had a wonderful feast, and I do believe you are at a hotel complex today?! ( you may thank Pappa and find my iPhone for that good guess😉)
We have had a long day of teaming rain today, which has not deterred the masses of birds flocking around my feeders. Today I counted up the Christmas visitors to be blue and great tits, dunnocks, Siskins, green finches, gold and chaffinches, waxwings and nuthatches. I haven’t seen the woodpeckers since we got back though.

I have had a very lazy day, just as Boxing Day should be, and have caught up with my journal. I painted a greattit, holly and ivy and added photos from Tenerife and England.
I have also caught up with a couple of Uk tv Christmas specials, and Pappa, D, D’s friend M and
U from downstairs are engrossed in a Caucassone match. W has just come in from next door.

I am cooking a ham in cola for supper, with baked potatoes and salad, and must go and put the oven on in fact. So, love as always,
Your Mamma xx
