1st December Very Christmassy

After yesterday's Christmas shopping today very much continued in a Christmassy mood. We had snow!

A bit of a blizzard on our way out this morning to do a bit of a family catch up and food shop.

Fortunately it didn't settle but it was lovely ☃️.

This afternoon I worked on some knitting that Amy needed help with and Ian and I caught up on a few episodes of Celebrity in the Jungle (yes, I know mindless TV but we had a good chuckle at some of the celebrities exploits).

My Christmas theme continued this evening as I helped Pauline at one of her wreath workshops. This one raising money for her local church so it was mince pies, mulled wine and the smell of pine, oranges and tree!

Pauline started her demonstration wreaths and then as chief gopher I helped to finish them off whilst trying to look like I knew what I was doing 😃. It must've worked as quite a few of the attendees were asking me how to do the ribbons and tie up the orange bits and cones. I felt confident at doing those as it was just under a year ago that I was helping Pauline make the wreath table arrangements for Amy's wedding. Now where did that year go?

This weekend the Christmas mood continues as there are several markets and local festivities for us to go to. Hopefully it stays dry so we can have a bit of a walk as well.
