We’re getting festive
here with some special peeps and today we get
Christmassy with
Carol Warham
Hello
Carol
Please
tell us a little about you and if you are a reader, Blogger or author.
Hi
Pauline. I’m an author. My debut novel, Resolutions, was released on August 9th
2017, so I’m very new to this.
I’ve
written since I was a small child, when I used to make comics for my dolls and
my friends. As the family grew, writing
went on a back burner, but in recent years I’ve had a few successes with it.
I’ve had short stories, travel articles and poetry published, so a few years
ago I decided to have a go at writing a novel, Resolutions is the result.
I
live with my husband, and our dog Sam, in a small Yorkshire village. Both my
daughters and grandchildren live close by, so I’m very lucky.
What
is your favourite Christmas memory?
I
think every Christmas has a special memory, particularly as we always
celebrated as a family.
However
one Christmas will always be a favourite memory. About fifteen years ago, we
lost my father in law, he was missed greatly. My mother in law was struggling
to deal with her loss and we decided we had to do something different for
Christmas, otherwise the gap at the table would have seemed enormous.
We
booked for the three of us to spend Christmas in an Austrian castle. It was
everything you may imagine. The scenery
was stunning and Christmas was magical.
What
is your favourite Christmas food?
Roast
potatoes and roast parsnips! We always
have a very traditional Christmas meal, turkey with all the trimmings, and I
love roasties.
What
is your favourite Christmas song?
I’m
not a lover of Christmas Carols particularly (despite my name!) although I do
enjoy listening to Carols from Kings.
One particular song I do enjoy is the lovely David Essex singing Just
Another Winter’s Tale.
What
is your favourite Christmas photo? Please tell us why
As
with most families we take hundreds of photos at Christmas time. However I must
return to the Austrian Christmas for a favourite photo. Mum in Law loved being there and after a
traumatic time for her it was lovely to see a smile on her face again.
You can find Carol at all these places ....
Please come back tomorrow to find out what makes Phoebe Morgan Christmas Christmassy

Many thanks for having me along on your lovely Christmassy blog. I really enjoyed re-living some favourite memories.
Lovely Christmas memory, Carol. Your Mum-in-law must have been so appreciative of your lovely idea to take her to somewhere so magical for Christmas.
