Christmas Wishes

It's not all bah Humbug here I have a wreath on the front door - if it withstands the wind and rain - and I decorated a little tree this afternoon.  There are cards on every available surface and my mother-in-law's little bone china Christmas rose candlestick on the mantlepiece. Weather permitting the wanderer will arrive tomorrow till Friday so once I make my mince pies whilst listening to the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from King's tomorrow afternoon it will really feel like Christmas.


I wish I could say I made this but it is from M&S - I came across these too late to post to anyone but couldn't resist as they are so cleverly made, with a little paper tree which unfolds in the centre, especially as they were half price! (do click on the photo to enlarge - the detail is lovely) It comes to you wherever you may be with my best wishes for a happy Christmas and here's hoping that 2014 will be a good one for us all.  Here in the UK travel is disrupted due to storms so hope that you will all be safe and where you want to be for the holiday.

  6. Enjoying your blog for awhile now, thanks very much.
    Our family Christmas will also be a quiet (but hopefully pleasant) one - here in our part of Australia, we're expecting about 28C, relatively mild and no storms forecast for this area.
    A happy Christmas to you and all the best for 2014.

  8. Very happy Christmas, and I hope the Wanderer arrives safely. If my visitors don't make it I have enough food for the next year or so.

  12. Hope the weather does not prevent the family get together for Christmas Jane. Thank you for the dorset button! I wish I'd made a card like that M&S one in return. I think I shall have to track some down in the sales if they've got them,ready for next year (I know, let's get this one sorted first!) Best wishes for 2014. Enjoy the holiday. xx
