It's beginning to look,

A lot like Christmas.

Even the weather feels right this year!

Overcast, cool and maybe a bit damp. Not at all like last year, very like the UK!

Anyhoo, my trees and decorations are up and gifts are wrapped and nestled below the trees.

Belle is being very good, though the latest additions have string and ribbons!

That may prove to be a little too tempting for her.

Meanwhile, she is blissfully playing with the packaging.

 Just like kids, it would seem that cats prefer the paper and boxes to the contents!

 She has hours of fun.

 Even my nails are looking seasonal. 

Today I plan to put the almond paste onto the cake and make mince pies.

Yum.

Just in case I don't get back to you before the big day....

Merry Christmas everyone.

I wish you a safe, healthy and happy time.

May 2016 be the best year yet.
