December 7th Breakfast at the very comfortable Comfort Hotel
Sadly our Fjord cruise was cancelled and we got very wet waiting in the rain!! We enjoyed the museum after warming up with hot chocolate in Costa.
Beautiful buildings in Bergen

More singing today in our singing for fun group. Lots of Christmas rounds in preparation for our busking session next week. Less people than usual due to the busy season. Acquired some Welsh Christmas cards in aid of Parkinsons disease.Managed to buy the black folders in Wilko at 50p per folder. Amazing value. Started Packing!

Our choir rehearsal, very intensive going through all the songs for our concert.Singing is very therapeutic. Our dress rehearsal will be at the church next week. I received the poem so I can practice and must remember to buy black folders for the newer members of the choir tomorrow. More parcels from online orders arrived too.

Made an apple and raspberry crumble using dessicated coconut in the crumble mixture. Maybe not as delicious as using mango but still tasted good!

December 2nd
A very grey day, the kind when winter hibernation seems the best option, made brighter by the receipt of our first Christmas card, a 25 % sale on all clothing at our local supermarket and yes , we both succumbed to temptation. My husbands purchase of a Christmas jumper was also a bright spot as he is not, like many men, enamored with the festive season and finally a phone request out of the blue to ask if I would read a poem at our Christmas concert.

December 1st
This time last year I was in Lille ! We have a December jaunt planned for this year too!! Today I attended the annual Christmas gathering of our local U3A where some of us from our singing for fun group sang three seasonal songs, two of which were rounds. We also had poetry readings, a seasonal quiz which most of us did very badly in and carols for all to sing along to. This was not helped by glitches with the laptop so our words disappeared mid verse. This added somewhat to the general hilarity. Tea and mince pies were consumed and raffle tickets sold. A fun afternoon to put us in the Christmas mood.
