Merry Christmas, my friends! I have spent the weekend with my family, and in true Hargreaves tradition (my maiden name), I sat up late and watched a scary ghost movie with my mum on Saturday night.

It was Winchester, if you are interested, and we watched it on Netflix. I highly recommend it for those that are interested in social history and spiritualism. It had just the right amount of humour as well, conveying a deep message about the human soul, but still reminding us that it was entertainment.

Merry Spooky Christmas! #ChristmasMovies

 Now we are back at home and preparing to spend the first Christmas in our new home. Today I will prepare my offering for Christmas dinner, which involves potatoes and a Quorn roast (I am vegetarian, my family are not), and I am trying to persuade the children that we should go for a walk while the sun is shining – they are not convinced! For now I may disappear from social media while I traverse the chaos of Christmas with a young family. Ho, ho, ho!
