A Week To Go...and counting down.


My last post before Christmas....though l hope to post a couple of the table on the actual day. l'm a little excited about decorating the garden room where we set up for lunch, since the room had a white makeover earlier this year (see here)...and is no longer red (bricks) and green (ceiling), even though they were the traditional Christmas colours.....they're sooo not MINE:-)....anyhoo, this year all will be light and white.
Lunch is usually here at our place with the family, Mum, Sis, Bro, S-IL and all the "tin lids" (kids), though when l say kids....l'm  talking bigger than the parents BIG:-)....We're hopeful Mum will still be well enough to come and enjoy the day....she's certainly frailer than she was a few months ago.
Each family contributes part of Christmas lunch....which is fantastic as it takes the pressure off my rather limited culinary skills:-)
No pics of my own this post so have posted a few of my favourite Christmas pics from Rachel Ashwell and Nina Hartmann hopefully you'll enjoy them too.

Struth.... it's hard to even look at this fire when we're sweltering here in Oz in 39 degree heat today. l'm writing this in shorts, singlet and bare feet with a glass of chilled soda water....NOT pretty...., but just trying to keep cool:-)


Some things you can only dream about.....vintage PINK santas, and not just one, but FOUR.....




OK....l found just one little pic..... close up of our tree this year.


Wishing you all a safe, loving and joyful Christmas Season.



Til Next Time,

Bron.

  2. Lovely inspiration pics but the one of your tree is my favorite:) I think it would be awesome if Rachel Ashwell came out with a Christmas decorating book!

    It sounds like you have a wonderful Christmas day planned, I'm so glad to hear your mom will be well enough to partake too. I look forward to seeing your Christmas table, all decked out! Kyran has requested duck for Christmas dinner this year, I've never in my life made one and not even sure if I've ever tasted one but we'll see! Then my brother, his wife and my nieces arrive on the 27th for the week so we'll be having Christmas part two...having all boys myself, shopping for my nieces is sooooo much fun!!!

    Have a lovely time with your family Bron and, like Caroline, I'm always so appreciative of your comments:) So glad we're friends! Hugs!
