Helloooo! It has been AGES since I was on the blog...the weeks before Christmas and just after, were so busy. We had some lovely visits when the girls came home and hubby had 10 days off, so it was a wonderful Christmas. I must say though, I don’t think I could keep up that pace of cooking, eating, celebrating and laundry! Here is a photo of our Christmas tree, now relegated to the bird feeding station outside (still adorned with the popcorn/cranberry garlands!)
