My first wax mac and wellie walk for many a year! We walked to the field and played ball, Ellie loved it. At least all the muddy stuff can stay in the garage but I must go to the charity shops to buy some old towels to wipe her down with. I am sure I have about a dozen in Cyprus! Meanwhile I have ordered some more bath towels for us (you can never have enough) from BHS, at the moment their Ultimate towels are Buy one get one free.

Mal stayed at home and I went shopping, not his favourite pastime. Back to Birchington and I bought the mirror but although the owner of the shop carried it across the road for me, in the pouring rain, when I arrived home one of the fancy screws that holds it together was missing! I did buy a new jacket in Birchington too.

I then went to the new Sainsbury’s which is very big and was nearly empty! From there on to Argos to collect Christmas presents I had ordered. We had some lunch and then went back to Birchington to see if the mirror screw was still in the shop. The shop was closed again but Mal found it in the road! We were very lucky. From there on to the beach. It was COLD!! Even so Ellie decided she was going to jump in the water.

And this is how windy it was

We then went back to Westwood to buy a telephone table for the hall. I will get round to sorting Christmas things soon!

Lou and Rhys came round for a roast at lunch time. It’s nice to see them both. It ‘s  Rhys’s day off Tuesday and Wednesdays. I even made three courses, trying to get used to the electric oven, I much prefer gas.

After they left we drove to Birchington as we had seen a full length mirror in one of the shops there that we like. The shop was shut!  No help on the window either as to when they are likely to be open. From there on to the beach at Minnis. It was COLD!! I will have to look for my hats and gloves. I certainly need them now.

On the news this morning, they were showing  what is happening to the 888,246 Poppies from the Tower. Evidently 120,000 have been sent out already. It seems I am very lucky to have received my three already. I am so glad as originally they told me it would be the end of January and two are for Torin and Rhys as part of their Christmas presents.

I went out shopping quite early and Westwood Cross is getting busy already. Everyone is counting down to Christmas now.  I bought some seed and a feeder for the many birds we have in the garden.

We then went to Minnis Bay, stopping at the Cancer charity shop to buy next years diaries. Ellie just loves the bay and this morning I remembered to buy some tennis balls for her. I actually “clocked” the mileage to the beach on the way home. It is 2 and a half miles away. Closer if we walked! Had we walked, we would have been arriving home in the dark. It’s getting a bit colder!
