Christmas joys:
- James sneaking in to my house on Christmas Eve when I was delivering presents to a neighbour and stealth decorating it with black tinsel and his mini-pink Christmas tree &
putting our presents under it
- Having waffles & coffee with cream in bed on Christmas morning and opening our presents alone together
- New amazing sparkly purple nail varnish from James & glittery cranberry body lotion
- Snow!
- Being able to go to *my* church for Christmas Day. & church being happy and God-focused and joy-filled
- Lovely presents from people & at least four days of visiting people and opening presents = four christmas days!
- Wonderful talented friends who took the time to make me presents
- Cooking
- Having time to plot and make edible presents for people (some at church to say thank you, some for my parents to take home to Wales, some to send with a wing and a prayer in the post to some wonderful people)

- Spending time at my parents in Wales for the New Year
- Mountains! (there is a distinct lack in East England)
- The conversations that happen on long-journeys
- A shiny New Year filled with hope and possibilities.
I am now quite tired and glad to be back in my own bed and own space for a long time again. I am glad there are no children at school tomorrow (really defies the point doesn't it and hoping I don't need to stay for the training all day) I am very much buried in all the academic work I have to do this week and will be very grateful to have all major essays handed in before the weekend. I am also thinking about the year just gone, and my hopes/aspirations for the new year - how I want to change and grow.
For now, there is my case study, self-examination, hot chocolate, ham rolls (thanks Mum) and soup and a lot of inspirational music to get me through the next few days of writing.
Welcome to 2011.
it seems a miracle to me that it will ever get finished on time - hot chocolate and music keeps me going!
Edit: I just found out I do not have to go to school tomorrow as there is no training I need. A whole day off again, a whole day to write, hurrah!
