Lovely morning chitchat December 2025

Thank you Stella2020  I have asked for the November thread to now be closed. 

Good morning all

I went to the flower market yesterday and bought a dozen Amaryllis as they are seasonal for Christmas and also suppose to present pride, strength, and determination. 
Hope everyone has a good week. Xx

Love the new flowers Stella, as well as what they symbolize! I hope you have a great week!

Good thinking Stella, Ellie actually started the thread in the first place so it is fitting we carry on with it

Lovely flowers and the words made me think of Ellie , pride, strength and determination as well as bit mischievous and funny 

I’ll always remember how welcoming she was to me when I plucked up the courage to join the forum at the start of the year 

Rest in peace lovely lady xx 

Lovely flowers Stella and makes me think of Ellie x

Your flowers are lovely as always Stella. As Patrick already said it is good to keep the thread going. We all still have a lot to contribute and to get an occasional laugh or smile is a lovely reward. Big hug to you all from 

Angie and Lilly xx

Good morning Angie (and Lilly). How are you keeping? I had Rinderroulade yesterday which I'm sure you will remember (wrong thread I know but Ellie is sadly no longer around to tell me off for it)

Good morning Patrick. Of course I remember Rinderrouladen. Yum, yum is all I have to say. I am doing ok, apart from a bit of a cold. The Biathlon yesterday was a good watch ( as always). I felt so sorry for the Lady from Finland. Hope the mens one today will be just as exciting. Lilly is happy that we finally got the Christmas Tree up and running. She loves to walk past it and make the little bells ring. Thankfully she only climbed up the tree until she was 2. I just love the build up to Christmas. Nuernberger Lebkuchen and a coffee making my spirits bright . After the rather difficult past few weeks, it’s nice to channel your thoughts to something more positive. Hope you and Mrs Patrick are doing ok. Love and a big hug from

P.S has anybody else got issues uploading photo to this thread at present? 

No my photo seems to load ok Angie. The village tree in all its glory. The baubles are knitted.
