Spooked!

We had a very uneventful Christmas day - which is a relief after last year when mum had a go at me, making me cry.

My sister has come over for a few days and cooked us lunch.

She brought me many gifts ..  when I opened one of them it gave me quite a creepy feeling.

To this day I still have a very old and faded cushion cover that I expect my mum made from an old remnant in the 1950's. It features in several photos of me as a child including the one above, of me eating a rusk in the back of the family car.

The pattern seems to be in the V&A archives and they've produced several items in the design - my sister got me a pencil case, an exercise book and a little drawstring.

It's a Noah's Ark design - I wonder if it's the reason for me loving Noah's Arks, even now!

I hope everyone's had a lovely day - happy Christmas everyone!
