22nd December - busy Christmas week


Monday 22nd December


We are back in beautiful Lauderdale, looking out at the sea from Lynne’s dining table. 

It has all been very busy.  This morning I had a trip to town and back on the Christmas Bus, from the cenotaph.  All very thrilling for two and four year olds.

Zoe & Rose
We had time to look at the Cat & the Fiddle at 10.00 in wonderment and admiration.  This is such a simple thing, and very dated but…everyone just loves it.  There was once a fountain beneath it, and open sky above it.  My children would always want to dangle their hands in the fountain and the rest of a trip to town would be dismal, with frozen little hands and sodden sleeves.  The whole area has now been taken over with cafés, and the roof is closed in.  But…everyone still loves looking at the Cat & the Fiddle.


And the encroaching cafes provide lavish treats for small children...

The pink icing was first to go
