Christmas Glow @ Wisley

Just managed to catch the last few days of Christmas Glow at RHS Wisley

We arrived after 5pm as advised (due to its popularity) and walked around the fairy lit grounds admiring the light instillations and featured 'Iconic Trees'

A beautiful moonlit evening made an ideal if chilly end to January 1st 2018

Covent Garden at Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Covent Garden this week, ticking all the boxes!

I can resist no longer! Time to embrace the coming festivities and start adding a few Christmas related items to my shop

Expecto Patronum

Can't help noticing that Christmas is starting to make a sneaky appearance in the shops.

Last year we focused on some time together rather than the mountain of presents route so did a little starlight walk at Painshill Park in Cobham - was half expecting to see a doe patronus when I looked across the lake!

Okney Revisited

Another lovely holiday spent in Orkney this year. Did say 'next year we'll go on a holiday where we come back with a suntan not rust' but somehow it keeps calling us back.

Stayed near Orphir on the mainland and spent time walking, beachcombing and admiring the seals who hauled up near the cottage at low tide.

Little Owl & A Teapot!

Picked my needles up again this week and here is the result.

Currently sat amongst the treasures on my desk, he is awaiting wrapping up ready for my Folksy shop (available now Click Here)

Was trying to think of a witty name for this piece but failed miserably and went down the literal route.

Here's a little poem by someone more clever than me instead

I know that you were made for me

And I was made for you

A wise old owl up in a tree

Told me this was true

I asked him only yesterday

If I should marry you

He answered - I can safely say

"You're not a twit to woo"

- Martha Simms
