An afternoon of laughter.

Our Chatty Crafty club started as normal today, at 10am. We usually finish at 12, but today we had our Christmas celebrations, which went on till gone 2 o clock. The tables were set out in the big hall, very lovely I thought. They did a good job. 
The tree is looking fabulous. 

The bar is set out. Sherry for starters, then wine. 

The main meal was lasagna, meat or vegetarian. Very nice. Cheese and crackers after the meal.

Lisa makes jewellery and we were all given a pair of earrings. I had my ears pierced a long time ago but haven't worn earrings for many years. I couldn't find my holes, so I hung the mini Christmas trees on my glasses. Oh dear, I look a bit flushed. I only had one glass of wine, honest. 😆
And a jolly time was had by all. 
It's half past seven, and I am just having a snack. I don't need much after stuffing my face this afternoon.

    1. It was very good fun. We shared stories and laughed out loud. Ice skating was a good idea for a change.

    Hope you have picked up on Grayson Perry’s ridiculous electricity bill. It is so easy to connect those dots…..

    1. I have a glass of wine now and again, or maybe a can of cider over three days, but I find alcohol doesn't agree with me any more. Gives me a fuzzy head. Enjoy your Christmas Linda.

    1. It was hilarious. I am off to the Coffee Morning in half an hour. Getting dressed up. No alcohol, just coffee. Thank you for visiting my blog. I like to keep abreast of things, and knowing it entertains you, is a bonus. Have a good Christmas.
