Belated good wishes...

Well, where did December go? After a very nasty bout of 'flu which really took its toll and desperate travelling conditions every day for a month.Just walking the dog was a major undertaking.... Lots of things happening at the shop and the fact I broke my camera then lost the connecting cable to the lap topnI have been a bit quiet....


It was then time for carol services, nativity plays, twilight tea parties,christmas parties and final assembly followed by a bit of this....



Well actually a lot if wrapping.Which resulted in this.....omg....
I do like to add a tree decoration to each present as a little extra.I enjoy the whole angst about buying the right present and take a lot of pleasure in the wrapping usually,but due to a lot of sad news this year my heart was not really in it .I also half heartedly did the decorations.The tree was up a whole weeek with only lights on it..I went for a homespun look of sorts with accents of red and turquoise.
last year I did just white which always looks lovely.




We spent a really lovely Christmas day at my sister's house and she is the most brilliant host.Her sons were with their dad and we always miss them.However, they are all home for New Year so hopefully we can all get under the same roof for a while.
We didn't do much except eat and drink and watch terrible telly.It snowed again so getting Mum and her two rather ancient retrievers in and out of the landrover was a whole other story......So December just passed by in a flash.I found my cable today in my dressing table drawer!!(It's the menopause-I look in that same drawer every day of my life !!!!!) so I will be able to be a bit more talkative henceforth..Still have lots to tell but have really enjoyed reading all your tales of Christmas present.Have got to go to work now and wade through all the puddles as the thaw is well and truly under way.Hope you all had not the perfect Christmas but the best with famiy and friends.
With much love and best wishes to you all you lovely ladies out there in blogland.
