This was taken yesterday on what was officially the first day of winter. A ladybird on a surviving summer bedding plant. Very mild Christmas in the uk!

Well i wish that i could say that we are snuggled up indoors with the tree lights blinking playing Xmas tunes whilst we look out of the window watching the lovely snowflakes turn the garden white. But in fact it’s one of the mildest Christmases we have had in a long time – there were Ladybirds in the garden yesterday! – the other half is drilling and sawing creating a new bedroom and i’m working (and blogging). Oh well! have a good one.

Well as they say, Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la! Etc.  Now then, just in case i’m too busy to remember to blog a Merry Christmas i have set this post to post itself on the 24th of December (i’m writing this on the 3rd December, don’t tell anyone). It should also tweet itself, yes even at Christmas i am nerdy.

I hope you all have a wonderful time and i hope we get some snow. If so i am going to build a snowman, oh who am i kidding, this is the UK and you just kow it will rain.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Two merry blue eyes
A very little nose
A long snowy beard
And cheeks like a rose
A round chubby man
A big bulging pack
Hurrah for Old Santa
We’re glad he’s come back!

I’ve been baking all day – raspberry muffins, blueberry muffins, scones and fruitcakes and i’ve started icing some mini Christmas cakes i’m doing for a few members of the family too. Yes i know i need practice … a LOT of practice! :)
