Bergenning to look a bit like Christmas

Actually that’s not really true, it is very much unlike Christmas. It took us quite a while to get moving this morning but that’s ok because we didn’t have anything of great importance to worry about today. The girls were quite hopeful of some Christmas chocolate so it was lucky that some had been left for them underneath the traditional Christmas cactus, they were very happy. All that we had to worry about was food as supermarkets were closing in the early afternoon so we needed to make sure we had everything we needed to get us through tomorrow. We were all going to go but Ruby decided her time would be better spent revising as she has a lot to do so we went off without her.
It is a very strange town, quite like a ghost town, there just doesn’t seem to be anyone outside at all. We had a bit of a wander, we have now seen most of the town I think, and most of the shops were shut and there was a distinct lack of people getting last minute stuff done. We managed to get our last minute stuff done though, so we were happy. It was home for lunch and an afternoon munching on ‘Not as good quality as they used to be’ Street chocolate and resting on the sofa for me and Jess, dancing for the twins and more revising for Lily and Ruby. It was quite a different Christmas experience because we just didn’t need to do anything, lucky really as it took all the energy I had to get myself off for my afternoon nap.
We managed to finish off Emily in Paris and then work our way through an odd geography quiz that Ruby found for us and Lily whipped up a Nor-Tex-Mex fusion meal for our Christmas Eve dinner, it was very tasty. A few games of cards followed to wrap up a fairly chilled out day, with more of the same predicted for tomorrow.Read more
