I just love decorating at Christmas and this is how my living room looks. I have a very traditional feeling about this time of the year reminiscent of the 1970's I guess which makes perfect sense as I was born in 1968. I love paper chains, I have crepe paper streamers in the TV room and I think these paper honeycomb globes are just fab. However I always look to my very fav book when it comes to Christmas inspiration, Tim Mouse and Father Christmas - still available.
It always has pride of place somewhere at this time of the year; hope you can see or at least get a feel for the similarity....
Somebody on Twitter mentioned snow drops so thought I's take a look and....
a bit blury but you get the idea!
Also making an appearance are other things which are overwintering like the tulip and daff bulbs for Spring I planted outside The Snug.
The shallots,
garlic, just,
and onions have popped up to say hello as well.
Also outside and still showing signs of life are some red 'n' green lettuce,
the Spring cabbages seem to be surviving though not that big,
and the chooks and ducks are ok. A few more eggs in the last couple of days; my husband puts this down to him having given them a slug of grit recently,
the ducks are still free loading. The one in the foreground, A l'orange, is a bit nasty, nearly pecks the food out of your hand, the Crispy Khaki is soooo loud and Duck-chess seems to just go with the flow.
That is it for just now I think. I'm continuing to make mince pies, but bread making has stopped for the festive period, we begin the last week of work and school next Monday and the not too big list for the festive shop is complete; helps we are going away for a couple of days after Boxing Day - looking forward to some fun times in Llandudno and blowing some cobwebs away with a walk on the beach among other things.
Lou.
