Untangling the Tinsel

Had such a lovely weekend partying & gardening. We started giving the Laurel Hedge (the real one, not the blog!) its pre-Christmas trim yesterday & a solid 5 hours later, we'd only completed one street frontage! But I feel happy that at least 1/2 is done.

Much to my relief the Christmas spirit arrived at The Hedge this weekend. MOTH aka The Christmas Grouch has waved the chequered flag & I'm decorating - yay! Here's a few little Christmas cuties that have caught my eye.

  2. Hi Millie,

    Well, I seem to be wrapped up in lights at the moment, but had to stop and admire your beautiful post. Lovely!

    Oh and by the way that Mustang always overheated!
    And my youngest daughter is available! Hmmm

  5. I got our Christmas decorations out last weekend and they are still all over the place. I think I need to just shove the rest back into the plastic crates and say enough is enough. That would give me time to bake some snowflake biscuits like the ones in your photo - I have those same cookie cutters! Good luck with the rest of your house.

    Thank you too Millie for your lovely, generous comments on my '7 things' post. I think I may take to lurking around car parks now with some heavy boxes!
