Where does the time go - I need to post this to reduce stress all round! Please don’t leave it too late as we’re all in the hands of Royal Mail! These are their dates but I’d really err on side of caution if I were you!
Local delivery to TA1/TA2 is possible up to 23 Dec but website closes 22 Dec!

After my kettle mishap last weekend my 8 year old great-nephew Joseph was most concerned for my well-being (see attached WhatsApp exchange) and followed up with a get well message 😊

I feel much better now - and I think everyone should #bemoreJoseph - do you agree??

A classic! #TYTG for my festive socks 😘

Until further notice 🙄 - that’s the salient detail I forgot to mention.

Half price everything even sale items for the foreseeable 😊

Day 2: #Advent2025

Ahhhhh nice - a non-trad tradition, going a bit off-piste there #TYTG 😘

It’s started!
Day 1: #Advent2025

And it’s a strong start from @TauntonGardener: love the idea of 10 min dishes at this time of year but also v glad I do generally have more time to cook these days #TYTG 😘

(This was a tradition (begun on Twitter in the good old days) and everything under a fiver!)

Roll on 7pm I say!

My gift to you this festive season is that all remaining stock is now half price - just use the code XMAS50 at checkout and Bob’s your father’s brother! Or indeed your mother’s 🤣

Happy shopping x

It’s a beautiful day again today - bl**dy freezing but just so clear and bright (and I’m lucky enough to be indoors with the fire on).
Might be time for the #bigcoat when I go out later (looked like an old fashioned blanket and is very warm!) - have a good day all xx

Off to London on what was a very empty train for the first few stops which was nice!
Meeting an old friend at #v&amuseum to see the #Cartier exhibition and chat a lot! Weather’s looking better than what o left behind 👍
Hope you lot have good days planned x

The result of dropping a satsuma into your drink (accidentally)…

Morning all - I was hoping to post more here about GF and Xmas and all that sort of thing rather than minor calamities but here we are…and then…

The past few weeks have been very hard for TG’s family and us both as we have lost our beautiful niece Caroline after a very short illness. We all loved her very much and will miss her hugely and will take some time to adjust to her loss 💔
