The Rising of the Sun.....



The rising of the sun....





And the running of the deer.....





The holly.....


....and the ivy.....



I've truly lived in a Christmas carol this year!




Happy Christmas to all my Facebook friends and all the best for 2015.

It's all abaaat faaaamily!

This week I have been so proud of my family. Firstly, I saw a lovely Christmas floral decoration that my talented cousin Teresa had created.




Then, on Sunday, my dad played his latest harmonica gig in a Soho pub. We were all very impressed. My IT skills aren't quite up to uploading a clip of the "harpist" in action, but hopefully I'll add that in the not-too-distant future.
My brother Max surprised me with a "missing you" message - unheard of! But much appreciated and he and his wife Helen sent a beautiful box of chocolates in the post; another lovely surprise.
Then got an unexpected invitation to another lovely cousin's (Elise's) Birthday dinner next week. Looking forward to catching up with her.
It's easy to get caught up in being "busy" but I really appreciate my family, they are a unique lovely bunch and we all get on well and enjoy having a good laugh. I hope some of them read this too!!
Finally, the new addition to our own little faaamily, Kizia, a local stray.  She makes me laugh all the time too.


I'm a bit scared to hang any of my beautiful glass Christmas baubles due to the unnatural fascination she has with the Christmas tree (also a local stray, rescued from a neighbour's recycling last year - Scrooge has nothing on me in this austerity Christmas; however, I prefer to call it being "green").
Have a great week,
Kelly
