Hello there ...
just a quick catch up and a chance to wish everyone
Seasons Greetings
and Blessings for the New Year ...
lets hope its a good one.
Busy day today .... bit of work this morning .... then of course Hubby P had to do his Christmas shopping ...
he always leaves it until the very last gasp.
Mid afternoon he came bustling in with a big bunch of flowers ...
my Christmas flowers ...
he just knows how I love flowers and he makes a special trip into town to see a friend with a florist shop...
and I have flowers for Christmas.
So I get to have an enjoyable hour or so arranging them ...
well ...
more a case of plopping them in a jug really .. but I enjoy it.
The Christmas corner looks really lush and quite festive with lots of greenery and my flowers.
Even the cat is looking quite animated ... she's not an affectionate cat ... very aloof sort of girl.
Can you see the little bust of the lady ... I brought her back from work ... she was one of two ... the other was bought and given a new home ...
I just loved her from the moment I found them this summer ... so I think she has been with us long enough to warrant a home with us.
The blue flowers are a bit unusual ... white roses sprayed a fresh blue colour ... I'm not sure what I think?
They are striking and bring out the oomph factor of the display.
And Piccalilli ... I broke open this years makings ...
my goodness...
Piccalilli to die for....
It is so scrumptious ... I shall have it with everything I think ..
Not having made Piccalilli before ... I am most impressed.
Just as we were settling down for the evening ... a phone call ...
'Do you like scallops?'
Just look at this ... a whole bagful .. straight out of the sea at Pwllheli ... still 'popping' with the indignity of being in a plastic bag.
So we set to and sorted them ....
And for tea ... Surf and Turf ... of course .. with a simple salad....
lovely!
Wishing you all a lovely time ... however you do it ...x
