And just like that, another Christmas is over…it is my favourite time of year yet it goes by in a flash! We are lucky that our Christmas is very relaxed….no pressures, no stress…just a day to be together and enjoy each other’s company. I have shared what our Christmas Day is like on this blog […]
Christmas Day has arrived…a big day which can be frantically busy for some, through to totally relaxed for others. We are having the latter…a casual get together with family, including the furkid…just perfect… The weather is forecast to be hot…very hot…so we are hoping there no bush fires like there were last year.

Back in the old days, our post box would be filled with Christmas cards…fast forward till now, and we have only received a handful. I even wrote a post back in 2014 about how receiving Christmas cards were becoming rarer…and it seems nothing has changed. I should mention that receiving cards still happens…for us, the […]

Finally we had some hot weather forecast…albeit only for a day…so we got up early and head out for an adventure with our furkid before the heat hit.

It was an honour made even more special by the fact that 2015 was the 60th anniversary of the Christmas windows! […]
There is a particular favourite task I have each Christmas, and one which I really enjoy…designing and setting the Christmas Table. Doesn’t matter if there is 2 or 20 diners, the table has got to be properly decorated! I have to admit I was a little more organised this year then I usually am, however, […]
