H is for Home

 I struggled to find a subject this year for the letter  H. Last year it was Hampers for Christmas presents and I didn’t want to repeat myself.  I might have written about Hedges – The Horrible Yew Hedge  out the front of the bungalow, I managed to get my side and half the top cut on Tuesday. I’ll do my neighbours side another day, as it’s quite hard work now I’m getting older.

 I could have written about Herbs – but that’s been done before HERE. Other H’s in the labels are Holidays, Hazelnuts, History but can’t think of anything special to write about at the moment for those subjects and that leaves House and Home.

When does a House become a Home? I’ve only lived in two houses that weren’t really homes . 6 months in the rental when we looking for a smallholding and the year in Ipswich in 2016, which never seemed like home. Usually I can get settled into somewhere quite quickly. 

Then I remembered a book that we had when the children were little and found this you tube rendition.

Hope it works – if not this is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcHd9aXcIIg. It was a favourite to read with all the rhyming .

 
It was only later when I’d run out of time to do anything more that I thought of Holly – the big tree in the churchyard is absolutely covered in berries this year and  I could have found some folklore and history.
Now there’s a plan for a December post. 😊
Back Tomorrow
