In Edenbridge! Thank god; I don't think Christmas can really ever be called Christmas without snow. Even if it consists of the tiniest layer of the white stuff, which is currently installing itself over rooftops, trees and fences; Edenbridge looks pretty damn hot right now, if I do say so myself.
Home has been amazing since the minute I walked through the door! I'm half way through putting the decorations on the Christmas tree; a rather drawn-out process which is managing to last me a few days; it has to be perfect and I will be happy with nothing less than absolute perfection! Mum and I managed to put the lights up and on outside the house on one of the tree's; a pretty major effort if I do say so myself, and Mum also managed to get the chainsaw on the roots of the Christmas tree; I think it's fair to say that we were pretty close to cutting our legs off, and that I was worried about her cracking the tarmac on the drive; needless to say, the tree is up and in the living room now, and as I say, almost finished. The tree smells really good too; I love it.
Since I've been back I've managed to eat two M&S turkey sandwiches; the ones which Hannah and I have been craving for the past month, let alone the past few weeks. Nicest. Sandwiches. Ever. Everyone needs to go and have one. Or seven. I've also been eating lots of home food; literally melt-in-the-mouth stuff, it's delicious! Not that I'm saying I haven't eaten well over the past four months, because I most certainly have, but home food is always a favourite and I'm more than making up for missing out on it!
I've got plans to meet up with quite a few people, which means that my life is pretty jam packed right now! But I like it that way, and I love coming back and seeing everyone, so I'm pretty happy right now (",). I've already seen Soph, Dais, Mikey and Dan since I've been back, and today's supposedly an "off" day as it were (I'm currently waiting for Mum to get back from her half day at work; she's literally just pulled into the drive as I type actually!) before we go Christmas shopping (I need to start and finish it all in a day; not a problem, I hope!) and tomorrow the seeing-people starts again, with seeing Natatalie for lunch and going for drinks in the eve with Fi. On Friday I'm going to go and pick up Guy which I'm really excited about; I haven't seen him in 2 months (!) and then we're going to the pub for Ruari's 18th in the evening, before family on Saturday and then Mum and Dad's house party in the evening; exciting times!
All in all, Christmas has honestly never tasted, looked or smelt so good, and it hasn't even started yet! Bring on the next month of seeing family, friends, eating, shopping, and trying not to feel guilty about my complete and utter lack of work concerning that slightly important Dissertation I have to write...
Bisous! Jess xx
