Post Comment Love 5 - 7 January

Hello there, Happy New Year and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky, and if older posts are linked then please don’t feel that it’s necessary to comment on those. We know you’ll find some great posts to read, and maybe some new-to-you blogs too, so do pop over and visit some of the posts linked, comment and share some of that love.

We’ve had all the weather here - including a lot of rain; so much so that when we walked towards the River Trent on New Year’s Day it was easy to see that it was full again, and we’ve had more rain since. There’s just nowhere for the water to go at present, here’s hoping that the weather behaves more over the coming days and weeks so that the water tables can return to more normal levels, and that no more storms head our way (and I mean that for us all).

Our first Christmas in our new house was good, with lots of family visiting and plenty of memories made. We even had one of those rare nacreous clouds over our back garden, and while it’s not the greatest picture, that’s the photo I’m sharing this week. It was much more dramatic in real life.

Here’s wishing you all a happy and peaceful 2024, and here’s to another year of our friendly linky - please do pop over to some of the other posts and share some love, it’s one of my intentions to read more blogs this year.

Hello there, and welcome back to this week’s #PoCoLo - a friendly linky which I co-host with Suzanne, where you can link any blog post published in the last week. Please don’t link up posts which are older as they will be removed from the linky.

If you were here last week it was great to have you along, if you’re new here this week we’re pleased you’ve joined us.

This is the final linky of the year, we return on 5 January 2024. Thank you to everyone who has joined us this year and shared some love on the posts linked, both Suzanne and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and we look forward to welcoming you back next year for more posts, commenting and love.

MOH has been on a mission to get all those jobs done and in shock news we have finally hung some pictures in our lounge and some key pictures which we brought from our old house - it seems strange to see them on the walls here.

This week has been all about getting ready for Christmas here. Some obvious things like getting our Christmas cards sent, retrieving the Christmas tree and decorations from the garage where they’ve been since we moved as well as putting those decorations up - thankfully everything moved here safely - to some much less overt tasks such as ironing bedding, less obvious but no less important.

It’s been good to be able to share my new decoration, one which I bought earlier in the year to mark our house move. I think the decoration was originally designed for family names and/or pets, but a house move seems an equally momentous occasion to mark.

After a busy few days in London the previous week, we’ve been busy here since we’ve returned. For the first time, I think probably ever, we took full advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday purchasing things we’ve had our eye on for a while, which were mostly (but not all - sadly!) reduced. But of course as things start to arrive that brings more things to add to our to do list, but it’s a good kind of busy.

I’ve also made a winter, more Christmassy wreath - though the autumn wreath is still going strong, so I have plans for that. I just need the rain to stop for a while first though. I’ve also been back to Southwell Minster to hear Handel’s Messiah, and it was fabulous. Each year I say it’s something I’ll do, and this year I have!

Oh, and it snowed at the weekend and our garden looked even more fabulous! It’s all gone now though, the rain saw to that.

Have a good week.
