WOYWW 812 It's Chrisssstmmmaaaaaassssss!

 I'm getting this ready early as I am off to my brother's for the day so I'll be round to visit over the next day or so ...  

I did a fresh food (salad) run to M&S early on Christmas Eve morning (though didn't get there for opening at 6 am!) but I was home by 8.30  so had the rest of the day to myself.  Time for Christmas TV and Carol's from King's which I never miss. 

Wishing all deskers a very Happy Christmas WOYWW....  


I still don't have room for a Christmas tree, but do have wide window sills, so decorate them each year - this is part of my living room one.  the card at the front is from Kim, it's  like a snow globe, very clever. 

so my desk... 

not much any more  but this was after the wrapping session... 


they're now in a bag ready to go with me...




I'm  hoping to get an extra visit in to Kew whilst I am off work (not back till 2 January, and we finished early on Monday so it's going to be a nice break.

This is the link for last Saturday when it was grey and dreary...



oh... baubles!!  

the dogwood in the Winter Garden was gorgeous though


see you all next year - hopefully 2025 will be happy and healthy for everyone, and if anyone has the pause app to slow time down a bit that would be helpful!  Happy Christmas One and All !

Well done on the nearly dawn raise Helen, my M&S came via Ocado but stacked away nice and early as well.

Happy Christmas and have a lovely day with your Brother. Lets drink to still being in pole positions come mid May.

Merry Christmas Helen! Have a great day with your brother and a happy and healthy new year. I never miss the Carols from Kings either. The silence before solo of Once in Royal David’s city always my hair stand up!

Hope you've had a lovely day with your fam Helen, Happy Christmas!
Love the turquoise baubles on your windowsill, and the big baubles that you took at Kew. The winter garden looks lovely doesnt it, at least some colour there, the cloud cover has been so dull.
