WOYWW 865 - the New Year Edition!

 Happy WOYWW to you all. I hope you managed to have a happy Christmas. Mine was very quiet. 

I had a couple of gifts to open on Christmas morning (didn't get to see my brother until Sunday) - some perfume from Monica and a notepaper block from my cousin

I had a large roast beef dinner...

then on Monday I had to make space for the man from Virgin to get behind the tv to replace the modem on the computer as they told me it was very outdated..  luckily he arrived early (9) and it was soon all back in place.  You should have seen the dust... oops.  I threw out some dried up ink pads I found whilst there too...

My amaryllis is growing well and about to flower

my fabric tree on the window sill.  

I met up with Kim at Kew on Saturday (27th)  for the regular Saturday trip... it was beautifully sunny again. 

the witch hazel is out in the winter garden so another bright spot of colour. 

there are signs of daffodils in shady spots already coming through too,  so Spring is coming!

I was watching You Tube in bed on Christmas Eve and saw a fabulous Stencil Girl stencil which I ordered from Stampers Grove - not expecting it to be despatched until New Year - but found it on the door mat when i got home from Richard's on Sunday (Royal Mail working overtime!)

so had a play in the ledger journal 

3 rows of different sized people - didn't use the smallest row

(there may have been one or 2 other things in the parcel... )

I am off again today to Kew for my bonus in between trip - we are back to work on Friday to ease us back in gently before next week fully back - so my visits to you will probably be later. (watch out for the Kew pics too later)

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and much good health and happiness for 2026...
