When you wish upon a star…

Well it might be freezing cold this morning and the sleet is battering down warning of the snow to come later today but I care not a jot.  Nothing can dampen my spirits today.  Why? Well because Christmas came early for this gal!

You may remember that when my husband asked what I wanted for Christmas I said I wanted a bedroom.  Our caring responsibilities meant rejigging our home and Peter and I have been sleeping in our rather cramped study and I desperately wanted a bedroom.  A little sanctuary just for us.

This is what I arrived home to yesterday…..

So despite the fact that the weather is pants today, my workload is chronic and my husband is setting off on a trip to Madrid leaving me in command at the front line that is our life. I care not a jot – because my wish came true.

Thank you husband :wink:

  3. Wow! That’s so beautiful! Not only aesthetically (which it is – I LOVE the canopy over the bed!! Just what I want to do!) but that’s so beautiful that your husband did that for you. You’re a lucky gal!

    • Thank you Sue. I know it sounds silly but I can’t tell you how lovely it is to have a bedroom. As for the assignment I’m glad I got it in. It’s been difficult this time to get back into the OU stuff. I think I’m there though – the eternal stubble continues – mind you at least I’m not alone, one look on the OU website and the blogs all reflect the craziness that is study. Good to hear from you. Keep well.
