Listening To My Heart

Many people had two weeks off at Christmas not my hubby he worked nearly every day bar Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Regular readers would also be aware that he even worked Christmas Eve leading to him coming home and crawling in to bed while I took our two under two to Christmas Eve Mass.

So this week has come as a joy to relax in each other’s company and go out with the girls. On Tuesday I went to toddler group with the eldest and she enjoyed it so much that on Wednesday while out with Daddy she was very disappointed that she wasn't going with him and going to the post office with him instead.

We picked up a couple of pre-loved toys too this week a wooden kitchen and dolls cradle so the eldest has had great fun playing with those.

On Thursday we went to Goring to see the display of flowers left outside George Michael’s home where it is said that he passed away. I was asked to take a photo of someone next to the flowers and she told me she’d visited three times since he passed away. She told me that she was there when a couple from Derbyshire had driven down in the morning to lay down the G and M floral arrangements and while we were talking a robin appeared. I was aware of the significance of white feathers but not robins till now. The book in the church was full of farewells to the singer and they’d written a prayer for him for people to pick up.

Today is the arrival of twelfth night and the Christmas décor came down this morning. The room seems less cosy and more spacious. Thoughts of going for a walk have been shelved as it’s freezing cold here and raining.

How was your week?
