Our Christmas aid package has arrived
Real Cadbury’s chocolate decorations for the tree. Paxo stuffing. Rowntree’s fruit pastilles to add to the kids’ stockings. Plus maybe an extra roll as my commission. Soreen malt loaf. Branston. Multiple jars!
Okay, so the Christmas we are planning is not strictly an American one, but while we were in the UK we always tried to introduce US elements of Christmas to the overall family experience. So it is only fair that Christmas in the US should have British elements.
Back to Buffalo tomorrow to look at a couple of houses that we liked on Monday. The second visit will be a much more thorough examination.
Meanwhile, a gentleman from the removals firm dropped round today to carry out a survey of the stuff to be moved. I did warn him beforehand, and it did indeed take a lot less time than he was planning. The new house, whichever one it turns out to be, is going to feel very empty until we go on a furniture buying spree.
Busy, busy!
