So it's december, which generally means christmas stuff is happening. In Helston especially - we (luke, shiona and I) went to a very special christmas 'turning the lights on' event in helston main street last week which was pretty novel.
They closed off the street for a few hours (4 cars were very inconvenienced) so they could have fireworks and stalls and hot food and choirs and drumming bands, and horses dressed up as reindeer. There was even a mobile pipe organ playing less than christmassy tunes, but the thought was there....
Someone also felt it was a good idea to provide all the children of the village with light sabres - i'm amazed at the amount of ways there are to hurt yourself with those things. But a good time was had by all, and now Helston looks very festive and nice, and we're all getting into the christms spirit. Even more exciting today is the fact that the sun is shining. Its the return of an old friend. And patients are a little scarce today so i have time to enjoy it. (Lucky i'm sitting next to a giant window, otherwise it would seem that blogging was counterproductive).
Also, I've accepted a job in Bournemouth for next year - still in the south of england but much closer to everything travelwise, and so luke is now looking for employment. We'll start up there in Jan once we get back from Germany.
So all is peachy, though no snow just yet. fingers crossed for germany, though i'm assured i wont be disappointed by many a winter fan.
Write to me!
Love to all!
