The Tree!

Finally pictures of the tree. It's been kind of a hectic week so finding time to show the pictures has been difficult. Thanks for all the lovely comments on my Sitting Room. It is my favourite room in the house at the moment.

You might spot the glass of sloe gin on the table under the twigs! I've been enjoying a glass most nights this week!

Tomorrow I have a day off work to spend Christmas shopping with my Sister. We're heading into Marlow which is a lovely place to shop, especially just before Christmas. My Brother-in-Law is looking after dear little Hamish so we'll be able to really take our time. But I'll look forward to spending some time with my lovely Nephew when we get back home. I had a chat on the phone with him today. Can hardly believe he is only just two! He was telling me that he was going to the Mum's and Toddlers play group to play with playdough and that Nana and Gramps(my Mum and Dad) were taking him to John Lewis this afternoon. Unbelievably for a two year old he loves going there! I think it's the lure of the great toy department and the lemon drizzle cake and juice that he always gets with Mum. Plus at the moment he is very impressed with the Christmas lights and tree that adorn the shop. He finished the conversation saying "Have a lovely day Aunty Nonnie". Oh he's a little lamb!!

This final picture below is of a gorgeous little berry heart that I received from Joanna of Higgletypigglety. I ordered one of her lovely prints recently as a Christmas present and she popped this and a lovely card in the parcel too. What makes it particularly special is that she made it from berries collected close to Chichester Harbour which is a place that I am very fond of and which she and I often talk about. I really love it and it looks so sweet hanging on the sitting room door.

Now I'm off for dinner at my Managers house who had left our company today. He lives close to the office but has given us all strict instructions not to arrive before 7.15 as he needs time to prepare! All I need now is a bit of a makeup touch-up and I'll be ready to go!

Hi Fiona,

Your little nephew sounds so cute! As you know, I have young nephews and a niece and when I talk to them and they say 'I love you Auntie Marie' it breaks my heart ~ a little tear wells up and I miss them so much.

Your tree looks beautiful. Enjoy the festivities.

Hope you have a great time Xmas shopping, it is good you have found time to put up your tree this week. Jo's cards and prints are fantastic, I bought some cards a few months back, I really love her style of painting, and as for Captain Rupert, well he is such a gorgeous bunny. You must have felt really happy when you discovered that lovely heart in the parcel too. x

Definitely worth waiting for! Really lovely room and tree. Well done.

Your living room looks gorgeous - really Christmassy but light and bright too. Aren't nephews just the best thing, my nephew is four and has just started school and I find him a total delight to be with. Sadly, I only see him every two months or so as I live quite a way away from him but I'm really looking forward to being with him at Christmas.

Hi Fiona
Ooh I am envious.. firstly for your tree and uncluttered room.. and a shopping trip to Marlow. I went to art college in Maidenhead many moons ago and I remember Marlow as being a very pretty place by the river Thames.
Have a lovely day leisurely shopping.

Your tree looks lovely Fiona and makes your sitting room look even lovelier! It looks so cosy in there, the perfect setting for a glass of sloe gin. Think I might be having one tonight as well! Enjoy your evening
