Well .. Happy Christmas! ..What More Could A Girl Ask For ...!

 Hello there .....

I hope you are getting some sunshine to brighten your days.

We've had a couple of splendid days ... a bit cool ..

 it is November ... 

but bright and sunshiny ...

The garden is still looking happy ....

 lots of interesting greens about ...

 it always amazes me how many shades of green there are .. 

all lovely and 'restful' in their own way.

 Already there are signs of a promising spring ...

 The plants are busily building up their reserves to see them through the winter and preparing to dazzle us once again with their wonderful foliage and flowers

 Just look at this big fat leaf bud on Will's Horse chestnut tree .... I thgink they are so lovely.

Monday was a day of great excitement .... I went to choose my Christmas present ... and just look....

a heap of wood ..!

As Hubby P said ...'he knows how to treat a girl !'

We jollied off in our van to the local scaffolding company's yard ... usually all locked up ... 
but there was a little man in a hard hat there to meet us.

The yard usually has a number of old .. 
deemed unsafe for use ... scaffold boards for sale ... 
good old wood .. 
that 'comes up lovely' after the Hubby P treatment.

This is a quick pic of the table he made me ... 
from scaffold boards ... you can see the nice grain in it ...
 please excuse the crumbs and dust ...
they'd never have me in Country Living Magazine!

Anyway my Christmas present is to be a Dresser to kinda match the table ...
 he's made a start today ... 
I'm being very good and 'Not Helping' ... with 'Helpful Advice'
 ... but I have made lots of cups of tea.

More pic's as we progress... that's if you would like to see  'building in progress' ?

Short and sweet today folks .... bye for now x
