Time to relax…

Finally a chance to relax and take a break from orders and sending out parcels! Not that I don’t enjoy it, but it has been a rather hectic few weeks running up to Christmas.

I’m so pleased to say that all of my presents are now bought and wrapped. It has been a worry because I’m usually so organised that my Christmas shopping is finished in November and everything is already wrapped! So I don’t know what happened this year, it seems like it has just sprung upon us.
We have a fibre optic tree this year. I decided not to decorate the free with fairy lights because the fibre optic lights are enough, it looks so pretty in the evenings.


The stars I’ve hung from the living room windows look really pretty from outside too.


I also decorated this bowl we got from Tunisia with pine cones and a big gold star. Molly keeps trying to take the pine cones out with her teeth!

This is one of my favourite Christmas decorations below, it is handmade from birch wood, I bought it in Germany a couple of years ago at their big Christmas market.


The snow has been falling quite heavily overnight here, and there is at least 7 inches on the ground. What a perfect excuse to stay in and cook home made mince pies and sausage rolls!


Hope you are all staying warm and safe. If you have to go out, go careful in the snow!
