Hello friends
Start of week four of Elliott's treatment, in some respects it is going by quickly
but there are days when it feels like we've lived on the M25!
Here he is making chocolate-chip cookies.
I would have shown you the cookies but let's just say...they disappeared quickly!
The postman delivered a lovely surprise for us all...
Kathy who owns Cherwell Leys Alpacas in Hampshire has been incredibly busy
with her knitting needles!
Not only did she knit lots of squares for the Blanket of Love but she also created these
gorgeous dog walking mittens. I love them - the mitten section at the top also folds over.
So very lovely! Spot the Layered Poinsettia - she knows me well!
The other surprises were dog treats for Bella and money wallets for both the boys -
you can imagine the smiles on all their faces!
Kathy - we are so very grateful to you.
We are bowled over by everyone's kindness - you have all made a very difficult time
a great deal easier.
The weekend included taking Bella to the woods - it is very wintry looking now...
Walking on a mulch of leaves...
And that view I take a photo of each time... not many leaves left on the trees now.
I'm hoping that when it snows (because it is bound to come at some point!)
to take a photo of the same spot and then I will have captured every season.
A round up of news again today - stop by tomorrow to see
Bella's Christmas jumper... !!
I know how to tempt people back to my blog! ;)
Take care friends - enjoy your week, I suspect a lot of busy people out there.

Hello. Gosh don't you encourage people's good sides to come out! what lovely things to arrive in the post. I would say you're very lucky, but that wouldn't be fair with all you have to put up with as well. Have a great break over Christmas and live each day. xxMargaretxx
