It's nearly Christmas Eve

and I cannot believe it. The build up has not been easy for me . As you may know I was poorly for a while and have found it difficult to catch up.
Today I was up and had started doing various chores when my lovely DIL rang and asked if I was busy as they had thought of popping round. I am glad they did cos I had a wonderful time chatting, playing and drinking coffee laced with Bailey's (DIL and I - we only had one each - honestly) the girls played beautifully we listened to some music it was very relaxing.

Hope that you have all enjoyed your weekend and are ready for the 'big day'. I'm glad I took time out to reflect on the real reason for Christmas and enjoy simple pleasures- well sharing with my family was priceless. I don't know how I came to click on italics :-)

Let's see may have a photo or two.

Below my Mum's Christmas Cake - I went for rustic- I had to ice and decorate so quickly - apologies to the experts out there. The sugar flowers are not exactly accurate. BUT my cake is not even iced.


My angel - on my dresser - wonder what she's thinking?


Ooooops thought I'd turned it round. I think it looks more beautiful in real life. Have also finished decorating now.



My rather simple little village scene.

I have several Nativity scenes . ( Also have one waiting to be made) the one below was the first I ever bought- about 40 years ago. We were just married and had very little money and I think it was from Woolworths. It goes on windowsill every year.




Hope you liked my simple photos.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE   Anne x

  4. Merry Christmas Anne, your charm is that you're always so natural - even if I had to lie on my side here to admire the tree. Please don't ever change - love and a hug, Di xx
