Both Christmas cakes finished, presents wrapped, food shopping delivery coming Friday so Xmas is sorted 🥳🎄 I'm torn between feeling slightly smug & worried waiting for something to go wrong as I'm NEVER ready with a week to go 😳😂

Still playing with pom-poms 🎄🧶 still thinking about the gold, may add more, may have none & more red 'berries' instead, I think the reindeer & tree look better not painted but may add snow glitter, maybe a bow at the top, probably going to add fairy lights 🤔 decisions decisions 😂

Our towns 14th century Tithe Barn ❤️ such a beautiful building & so glad it's taken such good care of. Still amazes me how something this beautiful & sturdy was built so long ago, no computers or machines just brains strength & skill. I never tire of seeing it ❤️

Hard frost last night so I've picked the last of the apples. Meant to be Braeburn, they've tried changing colour but I think the tree was a bit overwhelmed this year 😂 They're sweet & juicy but not too sweet & even the tiny ones will be used 🍏

Rocco hates going out in the rain (loves the sea and rivers), to be fair it must hurt when it's hammering down on them 🙈 talking to a friend today who said he saw a news item which said we need this heavy rain EVERY day for 6 Months to refill the reservoirs 😳

This Amazing post box topper in our town (Bradford on Avon Wiltshire) was made by the local WI. Photos don't do it justice, lots of love & work went into this #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem

Why are delivery drivers so 💩 Our Posties and Amazon are brilliant, never had a problem but Evri 😡 I had delivery last night pic 1 is their "proof of delivery" photo but pic 2 is where they actually left it - dropped over the fence and left wherever it lands in the rain. At least it's at my house!

All done, that was very therapeutic and I thought would take longer.

Cleaning for an elderly friend this morning, she's registered blind so cleaning is obviously not easy for her to do. She had been looking through her jewellery & said "I have a bit of a problem with these"
That's my evening sorted for a couple of days 🙈
