Saturday 14th December - a little bit of Christmassing...

 As in printing off the address list, and writing one card.  One card? A friend dropped by to give me the cutest little little weeny poinsettia in a little glass container,



 so I hurriedly wrote her a card and handed it to her, with the ink still wet, while I made us coffee. We sat outside and had a lovely batter in the weak sunshine, while a wren - a wren! - was fossicking around ridiculously close to where we were sitting. 

I've also decorated last year's Bloom and Wild letterbox Christmas tree, well half decorated, as sadly half the tree died in the Summer when I let it dry out. It's outside at the front, against the wall, so the fact that half of the tree doesn't exist won't show!


I've just been outside in the dark to take a flash photo!

    1. The one from the year before looks much better. I think the secret is to pot them into a rather larger pot than you think, and stand the pot in something so it never dries out.

    1. It originally came flat packed in a box with a complete set of decorations to put on it!

  4. I have a picea (not sure of spelling) in a pot that originally came in an M&S Xmas basket. It's now 25.
