Merry Christmas!

This has become ...

This

And this

Flowers have arrived

More flowers have arrived

The kitchen is full of poinsettas

And even more poinsettas

The parcels are all sent

Letters and cards all sent

The vegetables are all prepared

The cup cakes are ready

The turkey is prepared

The sweets are all made

The mince pies are all baked

The cake is ready

The salads are all prepared

The fruit is all ready

Presents are wrapped

More presents are wrapped

The drinks are all chilled

The stockings are all filled

Time to relax

To One And All

I want to wish you all a wonderful time with your friends and family.

This last year has been so traumatic for me and I want all my blogland friends to know just how much I have appreciated all the comments, emails, gifts and good wishes sent my way. I particularly want to thank Hadley at Flying Blind, Benta at Slikstitches, and Lindsey at Linen and Purple for their encouragement and support and sticking around during my long illness. Thank you also to the many 'lurkers' (especially in Hersham - do join my blog or comment - we live so close - Merry Christmas especially to you!)
