I'll get up around 8am and go for a morning stroll down by the canal, wish a Merry Christmas to anyone who walks past me.

At noon I'll drive over to my parents and pick my Mum up to visit my Nan in her care home. We'll take her presents etc even though she no longer knows what day it is. Back to parents house where me, Mum and Dad will have dinner together and watch an old episode of Only Fools and Horses. Then we'll walk a bit off in the park for half an hour.

I'll come home around 4pm and spend the rest of the day quietly by myself. I'll probably do a final evening walk, then relax in front of the box with a big glass of red and then get into bed with some carols playing on the radio.

Merry Christmas everyone x

Yeah I have to be honest I found the whole tragic comment extremely patronising!! We're fine thanks! No need for hands across America 🙄

I arranged to spend 23rd to 26th away with my brother in Bakewell, for a change of routine. We're staying at a hotel, and did some walking routes on Christmas eve & day

Normally I'd be at elder daughter's house for Christmas, but I'll try to make it to her's before New year instead
