Little Sister, her husband and I went away for a short break. Brother-in-law likes driving so he was in charge of that - six and a half hours from my house - Little Sister sat and knitted and I dozed in the back seat. We rented a house and were very comfortable.
On Christmas Eve we went to a Tea Estate for High Tea which was a new experience for them both and an excellent way to say thanks for having me tag along.
Christmas Day was simple and relaxed and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Then on Boxing Day, Brother-in-law found a Classic Car museum and its Jukebox Diner. So guess where we went for lunch? Great fun.
The Arboretum provided a much needed walk for Little Sister and me!
On the 27th a friend of mine took us to a needlework shop (well to be specific, needlework, quilting, knitting and lots of Christmas bits and pieces) where all three of us managed to open our wallets. Then it was on to the spectacular Hamilton Gardens where we ambled around the various themed “rooms” thoroughly enjoying ourselves.
And so this year draws to a close.

How joyful to see your summery photographs, such a contrast to our cold misty grey weather here in southern England.
We are having a beautiful summer so far and as most of my church activities are on recess I’m planning adventures
Your high tea looks delicious and so does your Christmas Dinner, so different to ours. It's been so dull and grey these last few days here, so lovely to see the blue sky in you photos. Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year!
So grateful for the update! Here in Southern California, we are in our ‘morning fog’ stage, so your sunny December weather looks delightful. Yesterday a friend and I worked on the San Diego Zoo float for New Year’s Day Rose Bowl Parade. Wishing you and yours healthy stitching in the year ahead!
