I made a fake wreath for the lounge wall

We had a pink sunrise several mornings this week:
and pink winter blossom at the library - I could easily have missed it if I hadn't looked up!
Teenage boy turned 16 this month, so we celebrated with our favourite cakes - baclawa
from our local Taj supermarket - an Asian delicacy of filo pastry, syrup and pine nuts... very delicious.
Busy preparing for some family visitors now.

Might not be blogging much for the next couple of weeks
so much to do, so little time!

Always so much to do at this time of year. It is nice to have special things. I still have things for the tree, that my boys made when they were little and they're in their 30's now. I treasure them and they come out every year.

ReplyDeleteAll looking lovely at Wood Fairy Towers! After my valiant attempts at installing some Xmas cheer this weekend, my Mother walked in today and said 'it's like Santa's Grotto in here'! Sometimes, you just can't win! x
ReplyDeleteSeasons greetings sent to the woodland. Its looking very festive. I love that reindeer cushion.it made me smile. Yes it is lovely to open that Christmas box of decorations carefully packed. Its like revisiting special old friends.
ReplyDeleteBacklava is yummy. First tried it in Greece. Then turkey and morrocco. They seem to do variations of it all over the Mediterranean.
Much love x
