Home musings

Today visited the Farmer's Market in Dunedin. Great atmosphere and meeting folks we know too. Then to New World Supermarket and some odd ends...(a not so nice experience of trolly bashing and car park space stealing by folks)... such a contrast. Then stopped at a fav. coffee shop and sipped, met some more friends. We then called Scotland and spoke with close friends Marjory and Stuart Watson, then listened to Marjory Watson on BBC Radio 2 - Pause for thought.(via Internet). And oh yes started making my gingerbread cut-out houses - samples ready. Lovely aroma! Mmmmm! Packaged and ready now.

And so some tastes of new home (Dunedin) and old home (Scotland) mingled for us today.
While they were there, the time came for her to give birth. She gave birth to a son, her firstborn. She wrapped him in a blanket and laid him in a manger, because there was no room in the hostel. Luke 2
