Oh that's lovely Penguin. Can be a bittersweet time.me my first without my mum this year so will be a bit mixed. Will feel good using the family tree and the old decorations.
Ooh, tell your rellys I read today about a new site for a Christmas market in Cambridge! Need to keep it quiet from my ever patient husband and go there for a day and " accidentally" come across it😁
I don't think they'll have time, their list is packed, Australians always do it that slway on trips to Europe as I guess it is too far to do multiple quick trips. My cousin has Parkinsons recently diagnosed too so is trying to pack in as much as she can while she can still travel.
Cambridge is a fab new option for me however and nearer than my other UK ones, York and Bath. Love your idea of stumbling across it, although I bet he knows you too well to fall for that one
I know what you mean about first Christmases. I felt different by the second Christmas, still hard but able to reminisce without getting so terribly upset each time. Had to for the kids though. It is good you have siblings to share this with x
