Here are a couple of ornaments I begged from my mum and dad's tree a few years ago. This first one, a white plastic reindeer covered in silver glitter is from when they were first married in 1962.
And this little golden pixie is from Gran and Granddad's tree which I greatly admired as a small girl. :0)
Yesterday we took our yearly pilgrimage to Barnsley Market. The fruit and veg there is second to none and so cheap! Here's me and daddy at the fruit stall. Notice the rather smashing shopping trolley that we have to cart around. :0)
Then we met auntie Mo who happened to be doing her shopping too. We had a bite to eat and a cup of tea in Tilly's Cafe.
And here is the reason we really go to Barnsley Market every Christmas, Barker's Butchers in the meat & fish market. They sell the best meat in Yorkshire and we always have a laugh with them. I bought a huge corner of beef, some donkey's doo-dah's (don't ask!) a boiling ham and 2lb of sausage meat for my sausage rolls. Luverly jubbly.
I'll try and be a bit more festive and update you on the yuletide happenings at our house. Ta ta for now!

With Love Auntie T
Ha ha! Have you tried the lamb donkey's doo-dah's? They are really lovely :O)
All our meat is cooked ready to carve now :O)
Oooh no, I don't like lamb! I cooked the ham today and will carve tomorrow when it's nice and cold. :0)
I cooked the pork yesterday, and the beef today. Tomorrow it will get carved. The stallholders in Barnsley market are so nice and friendly. Your tree looks lovely. We went to Asda, B&Q, Matalan and Boots today, to try and surprise you with some turquoise baubles, but couldn't find one:0(
Aaaaaaw! Turquoise is an unusual colour for Christmas decs so the royal blue will have to do. It goes well enough. :0)
