We received a lovely M&S hamper yesterday from DD and family. She is married to an Australian, has lived there over 20 years, has 3 teenage children.
As we unpacked the delicious contents, wine, cheese, pate, biscuits, smoked salmon, Christmas cake and pudding, I shed a tear as I realised how much I love and miss them. Haven’t spent Christmas with them since elder GS was a new baby (he was 18 in October!)
With the virus, no idea when we will get over there again, it’s 3 years since we have seen them.
This isn’t intended as a ‘Poor Me’ thread. I am well aware that there are many other GN’ers in the same boat. But with yesterday’s latest announcements, I can well understand how disappointed so many people must be at the thought of not seeing families.
It will get better though, and as long as we all are ok, that’s what really matters.

Same boat as yours Calendar but never mind, nothing we can do. Christmas usually makes me miss them more than ever but usually under normal circumstances, I know that comes the spring I’d be there...
