1 - Orlando's annual vet visit is one of the hurdles to cross in Advent. Thankfully, he was given a clean bill of health. As you can see, he knows how to travel in style!
2 - The Snowman Cake Stand is a relatively new (to us) addition, but one of the first signs that Christmas is close!
3 - The Christmas RadioTimes! We don't actually have a TV, but this is such a great publication, and I remember arranging who could watch what as soon as it came out... There were only 4 channels in those days! Now, we love the crossword.
4 - A quick shop for extra essentials like Wrapping Paper!
5 - Airtight storage boxes make Christmas kitchen preparations so much easier. Plan ahead!
6 - A fabulous Madonna and Child painted by a local artist,
Mab and the Moon.
7 - An alternative Christmas tree on Mum's calendar this month.
8 - This tin contains the gift tags which we make from previous years' Christmas cards. It's been with us for a long time now and has been used for this purpose as soon as the nougat had been eaten (which didn't take long!).
9 - We still have so much to learn from this story! Baboushka is a beautiful tale with a strong message. It was also one of my first Christmas plays, in which I was one of the kings, and wore a purple cloak which I think was made of a curtain! Today, is also our niece's Christmas concert, which was apparently a great success 💛
10 - And so we settled down to a group attempt to crack the RadioTimes crossword...
11 - And finally... The result of Mum's handiwork yesterday. Today, the Pork Pie and the Pork and Apple Pie went away. I just wish I could share the incredible smell with you too!
