Christmas Approacheth

Dear Little Lambie – always there with his Winning Smile.  It makes my day.

I think he is hopeful for a biccie.

 

And here is the “Faithful-sort-of” very mischievous Pepper with her butter-wouldn’t-melt and possibly hard-done-by face.

Pepper is a busy little girl – always on a mission, looking for things.  She rarely stops still long enough for me to take a photo.  I was lucky today.

This morning I dodged the weather and drove around the westside of Shetland distributing Christmas presents and cards, while having some wonderful time to myself.

It was very beautiful.

Once home, I found Daisy finishing the decorating of our very small tree.

The tree has to be small because Pepper would eat it all.  Even she can’t reach it….. yet.

We are going down the “Scandi” route. When we were visiting Norway a few years back, I saw a decorated branch hanging in a conservatory. In that house, it was obviously tastefully created and arranged and I thought the same might work for us.

Those that can’t hang any longer have become Christmas ornaments – this is my most favourite for obvious reasons.

    Love the decorations! I don’t feel even vaguely Christmassy. I hope you have a happy Christmas and that the animals all behave themselves!

    Your decorations look great! This year I did not even get a small tree, just put some lights on the fake Ficus. Happy Christmas to you and your family, every darling one of them.

    Dear Frances, thank you for sharing your life and photos with us every day. I could respond daily but it would just sound trite after a while. Pepper is a beauty. You must be very proud of your beautiful scholarly daughters. I’m going to steal the branch idea. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
