Happy New Year 🎈
Welcome to a new month and a new year!
Action packed month to tell you all about.....
Let me begin...
1: We went to Edinburgh on New Year's Day for a couple of days.....
Good job I pack those thermal knickers......
It was very very COLD! 
We visited Edinburgh Castle.
Afternoon Tea ;)
YUM!
Then we visited↓
It was great to look around, so many rooms to visit. It was a good idea to come back when we did, as the weather was turning worst.
2:Hubby had to have his eye lasered again.
(As he couldn't see out of his eye again!)
3: More Minions!
3: Back to Lollipop job.
The body camera was given back.
The following day I nearly went over someone's car bonnet as they didn't want to let me go back to the pavement!
4:Made cake for the Warm Space.
5: Had more uniform donations for the School Uniform Bank I am running this year.
6: Hubby saw Roy "Chubby" Brown at the Redditch Palace Theatre.
7:I got a great series on Blu-ray.
(Only seven years to the day, I was watching The Sopranos on dvd!)
8: More cake made for the Warm Space.
9:Sindy having fun in deep water!
10: Made some posters to advertise the Coffee Morning and Warm Space.
11: Had a reminder to get our VE DAY 80 event sorted!
Thanks for reading...
More fun to have next month 🎈

Bad Winds, Bad Drivers, & Shiny Sequins!

 "Where's your Christmas spirit?"
"I drank it!" - Jack Benny and Phil Harris.
December
Welcome to my December. 
 Time for the sequins to come out again ;)
1: Warm Space:
2:Body Camera and low lying sun problems:
I have now got a body camera over Christmas.
My Supervisor wore it, and the very first time she walked in the road, she nearly got run over. The low lying sun blocked the license plate of the offending car. Week later, someone tried to run me over while I was in the middle of the road. This time, I got the offending license plate to report them to the Police!
3:Storm Darragh
We were going to see Human League in concert on the 7th December and stop overnight in a nice hotel in Birmingham. Due to the storm arriving, a tree blocked the train track and we couldn't leave Redditch. Walked back home with our suit cases in the heavy rain and wind, our front garden took the brunt of the storm!
4: Making Christmas Decorations in Droitwich.

5: Sequins, and Warm Space.
Christmas Themed Warm Space.↓

Lollypop job with Body camera and sequins↓
Final full council meeting of 2024.
6: Breaking up for the Christmas holidays. 
First present↑
Nice rainbow after I finished the morning shift.
Lots of presents of the children and parents↑
It rained on my final afternoon of December ;(
7: Christmas Party
Sequin time! 
8: Visiting parents with wreaths.
9:Christmas Day.
I was nice to have our children stop over for Christmas :)
10: Visited Stratford upon Avon 
11: Betty the Gerbil enjoying some Turkish Box of Delights
12: I got my crucial haircut before New Year's Eve.
The hairdresser normally only cuts men's hair. So it was the first time he attempted to cut lady's hair. Nice short back and sides.
He did a really good job :)
14: Stopping up to watch the fireworks..
We didn't to toast in the New Year, as we were catching a train very early on New Year's Day! 

Happy New Year to you all 🎆🎇
