so recently we have nestled in to the season of winter. lit a candle at tea time (these are the ones we had in the summer from bees wax and oyster shells)
today i finished off the cookie kits for the school christmas bazaar. Each jar has flour, sugar and grated chocolate and then you simply add butted and use the cookie cutter to make cookies! simple! delicious too!
Yesterday i took custardy of this suitcase from my uncle David. It came from my nan and grandads house and contains all the love letters they wrote to each other while my grandad was in the navy during the war.It is truley amazing. i sat for about an hour last night reading though some and it was just so beautiful. They had not been married for long before he went into the navy and so were looking forward to him coming home and spending the rest of their lives together. Reading it hnow, i know they were lucky and did get to spend the rest of their lives together, they were married for 60 years before my nan died. I cant wait to read some more, they wrote everyday, mundain things often but so different to now..... just beautiful it really took my breath away!
