To Blog Or Not To Blog?
Some weeks the posts come easily. In fact some weeks I have so much to say I can't possibly post it all without wearing out my welcome. This week it's all gone a little quiet. This happens when I am out of my usual routine. So, as I am undecided what to post about, I thought I'd open up the floor. Is there anything that I ought to post? Have you been ...

This will put pay to endless questioning each Friday morning of; 'Do you think it will be me today Mom?' (Pen licences only get issued on a Friday, of course! :-)). Upon hearing the much awaited, and fantastic, news the Hubby ...
Have I Been Kidnapped By Santa?
I had to put this as the title of today's post. As a couple of days ago a friend text and asked me just that. "Have you been kidnapped by Santa?" No. I met Santa, but rather it's the rather gigantic bout of flu that returned with me from our week in Lapland that has meant I've gone AWOL. (One of the many amazing Lappish experiences we enjoyed) There was ...
It Wouldn’t Be Christmas Without A Few Repeats!
Every year the TV companies get slammed for repeating the golden oldies of Christmases past. But as Chris Evans pointed out last week, it wouldn't be Christmas without repeats. It makes him feel all is well with the world. And I agree. Who can forget the famous Only Fools And Horses Batman and Robin scene? It even featured at the 2012 closing ceremony - ...
Putting First Things First This Christmas

Not at Chez Wright anyway - I'm built for comfort not speed :-) I'm a huge advocate of developing simple traditions and creating lifetime memories. The Christmas chutney is maturing nicely, so, it's time ...
