Belated Happy Christmas.

Well this month seemed to pass in a blur, A bit late with the Christmas post but better late than never! We have had a lovely Christmas with the family coming round for Christmas dinner, spent most of the evening playing on the wii. The cold that I could feel starting on Christmas eve kindly didn't kick in till yesterday but now Im paying for the delay. (Although I did spill some cough syrup into the sprouts, if anyone who dined with us is reading this and thought there was a strange taste to them. it was lemon and honey venos! We did our traditional Christmas eve and stayed in with a few liquors, wearing Christmas Pyjamas and watched The Polar Express, we watch it every Christmas eve, its such a lovely film. I took the photo of our fireplace on that night, I meant to take it earlier in the Christmas period but have been so busy I never got round to it. I also wanted to post a picture of the door wreaths my mum made for us, they are so lovely. Thanks Mum! x



I got lots of lovely presents but my favourite has to be This book 'Pictures' by Tim Walker he is one of my all time favourite photographers. His work is so beautiful, every picture is like a fairytale. The styling is amazing, I love the scenes he creates using props and fantastic locations.

At least for one day.

I awoke on Tuesday morning to a bright glow in the room and was excited to see it had snowed, heavily. I have taken a photo of the snow through my front window where you can see the snow on the church. The snow added to the festive feeling that I've been starting to feel so I decided to put up the Christmas decorations.



Every year we buy a new decoration, we love decorations by Gisela Graham we bought Santa's Workshop last year and Santa on his bike the year before so we went to get a new one this year.




Our search took us to The Last Drop Village in Bolton, Its a hotel with health spa, a pub and boutique shops two of my favourite shops there are firecatcher Books which sells lots of lovely design books, stationery and gifts. The other is Poppies a florist and gift shop. Poppies stock Gisela Graham Christmas decorations and have beautiful Christmas displays. We didn't find a new santa but bought some new decorations for the tree. The snow has all gone now but I'm still holding out for a White Christmas.
