14th December: Advent for Preparation - Preparation for Christmas

Picture One: The less glamourous part of being a dog-owner. Thanks(!) for this picture, Judith.

Picture Two: The sun finally making an appearance...

Picture Three: ...And really struggling to stay up!

Picture Four: Yes, Orlando, we know that's your Advent Calendar.
Picture Five: A Bonfire Apple! This survived our bonfire night and has been sitting in the conservatory every day since. It had to go today, though, as we're readying for Christmas decorations.

Picture Six: Dusting in the gallery - soon there will be little holly sprigs behind these. But that means hard work beforehand to get everything clean and tidy.

Picture Seven: Jess waiting for the penguin to move... She's going to have a long wait!

Picture Eight: The Christmas cactus is so... nearly... out...

Picture Nine: Jess still waiting for the penguin to move!

Picture Ten: There is a real art to delivering parcels, and our postie is fabulous at it!

Picture Eleven: The moment Orlando and Jess realised they were getting a second walk.

Picture Twelve: An Irish Coffee - a Clemency-special and very much appreciated by Mum and Judith!

Picture Thirteen: Pig In Blanket was found, so he has gone on the move again. Keep your eyes peeled to see where he is hiding now!

Picture Fourteen: And finally, rare footage of The Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come getting ready to head out to all the miserly souls who need a wake-up call this Christmas. Here he can be seen admiring our gallery, for he is a real connoisseur of art.
