How long till Christmas?

Last week I sent a christmas stocking to a textile friend Aldona

and, in return she sent me one which is now hanging in my sewing room

Three presents went with each stocking - one each for January, February and March and we will continue with more presents throughout the year until the big unveiling and opening occurs on 25/12!

I am thinking that I might be able to buy some small presents in Italy as I have been talking about going in May this year. However, I just looked at my passport and please NOTE the expiry date!!!!!

I will have to take some steps to have it renewed - with Easter on the way, I don't know if there will be enough time!!! MEMO TO ALL - note expiry date of passports on some electronic calendar with a reminder.

I had dinner with Pete on her deck overlooking the river last night which was very nice. Arrived home to find some books had arrived from ukbookdepository - amongst them was this:



This is just a small sample of the joys of the book - I know you're all going to want to borrow!!! You can knit Camilla, Harry, Prince Phil, as well as the bride and groom and it even comes with a cardboard fold-out balcony where they can all be positioned for the nuptial wave and kiss!!!

And over the fence (and this side of it) there are a few additions:
I have a new arch with a white flowery creaper growing on it

and Mr veryrichbuilder has a netted trampoline kiddie-trap up beside the clothesline in the front garden. As well as keeping an eye on their washing, I can now supervise jumping play!
