This entry comes with 15 photos and a fab story

Patrick and Maisie had a very busy night ahead of them! ...

They had lots of snow to shovel...

Patrick got a bit carried away and almost caught Maisie in a snowball!!!....

Maisie tried to scrape all the snow off the car but...

There was just too much so they decided to go on the sledge instead...

When they got home they had lots to do, they hadn't wrapped anything yet so they got stuck in...

Patrick filled the stockings...

Then they both decorated the tree...

There wasnt many days left till christmas now...

By then end of the day they were so tierd,they sat down with a nice glass of mulled wine by the candlelight when ..... THUD....

Santa had got stuck in the chimney!!! Patrick and Maisie pulled him by his legs untill they finally got him out....

Santa was so tierd, he lay down and had a little rest...

Patrick and Maisie were worn out so they hung their little stockings on the end of the bed and tried to get some sleep, but they were so excited as it was christmas the next day !!!...

Santa secretly popped back to give them both a big hug to say thankyou for helping him out of the chimney...

Merry Christmas !!!x

Trip to France - The Journey Home

On Saturday morning it was time to pack up the car and begin the long journey home. Sock Lady made sure that they had some crisps to nibble on in the car and then they started the 4 hour drive up to Le Havre to catch the evening ferry. 


They arrived at the port at 1.30pm, and parked up the car while Sock Lady & Sock man went to get a drink. The Sock Creatures were fast asleep in the car, so Sock Lady left them to sleep while she went to find a nearby cafe. When they got back to the car, it was almost time to get into line to go through the ticket gate. The Sock Creatures kept watching to see when the cars in front would start moving. 

After what seemed like a very long wait, they were finally allowed to board the ferry. The Sock Creatures wanted to go out on deck, but the lady on the loudspeaker said that the crossing was going to be rough and that nobody was going to be allowed out on deck as it was unsafe. Sock Lady said they could go and sit next to the window instead. So they sat there, and watched the sea until it got dark. 

Trip to France - Wednesday (part 2)

After lunch, sock man & sock lady said that Patrick & Maisie had been so good that they could go to the park. The park was just outside the town of Vitre and had a big pond in the middle of it. Sock lady said said that they needed to be very careful as she didn't want any sock tragedies! They had lots of fun running around the park. They saw a deer in a little house, and some doves in a big cage. They played on the slide and the climbing frame, and had a go on a seesaw. On the way back to the car they saw lots of herbs that were planted in the park. These reminded them of the herbs that grew in the garden back at home.

Trip to France - Wednesday (part 1)

On Wednesday the sock lady and sock man went to visit the town of Vitre again. This time they took Pirate Parker & Maisie the sock creatures with them. They walked around the old narrow windy streets, looking at lots of lovely things in shop windows. After their walk they went to a cafe for lunch. Sock lady let the sock creatures have some of her chips, but the best bit was when sock man let them have a little sip of his cider, which was served in what looked like a teacup.

Trip to France, the first day

On Saturday morning, the Sock Lady visited Le Mont Saint Michel. It was a hot day, and the Sock Creatures were very tired from all the travelling. Sock Lady was worried about them getting lost in the crowds, and so it was decided that they would rest in the car. Sock Lady told them all about the visit and even bought them a postcard as a souvenir.

Sock creatures have arrived in france.

Pirate Patrick is one of the lucky Sock Creatures who have gone on holiday to France this week. Sock Lady will write a longer post tomorrow, but for now, here is a photo of Patrick enjoying his time on the ferry last night.
