Deer Tracks in the snow...magical...


Look...how magical to find deer tracks on our lovely sunday stroll across the fields...


Mr H & love of my life leading the way...

I love the look in black & white...
Love of my life with his treasured find....

The sun was warm on the back of your legs & beaming through the branches of the trees...

I love the shadow of the tree on the shimmering snow....

This scene of the church amongst the snow would make the perfect christmas card...

In snowdrop cottage garden....


Love of my life my little snow baby...


Now back to christmas preperations....
The orange & cinnamon bowl of scented loveliness has been made...filling the room with a lovely aroma...
Donkey & rupert have had the 'festive' touch....with rusty bells,red ribbon & a sack of candy canes to hand out...too good boys & girls...

My name settings have been made by spraying some dessert pears in gold & adding a luggage label with the guests names....

Our christmas cake is decorated....

Presents are wrapped...


& are under the tree...



There is still plenty to do.....so this will probably be the last post i get to do before the big day...
So i wish you all a VeRy MeRrY cHrIsTmAs full of lovely suprises....it has been so lovely to get to know you lovely bloggers this year...i have even been lucky enough to meet some of you!!

Where it is warm & cosey and starting to look a lot like christmas....

The christmas tree is dressed in ....

wonderful decorations & garlands a lot of which are by christine at the seagarden portscatho,who you will have heard me talk about before...

Dried oranges which i do every christmas,sometimes i tie them on parcels too...

This sweet little decoration was a gift last christmas from my dear friend jane of jane & the happy crow who can be found on blogs that i follow...


Even oscar is loving this time of year,it is all new to him & loves sitting under the tree & staring up at the sparkling lights....

& what he loves even more is his new toy...the old train,he is just waiting to load it up with parcels & make a delivery...


My front window has a pretty garland & some of christines decs...you can just see the icicle lights outside...


In the window...



I love my little driftwood tree which is in my porch, i got this from sennen in cornwall,i have it out all year..i cant bare to put it away..at christmas i hang a few pieces on it to make it even more christmassey....

Father christmas is watching everyone coming & going at snowdrop cottage to see if they are being naughty or nice....

Albus is in the swing of things too....


Sweet rupert & donkey are waiting for some finishing touches...something jingly!! I hope to do this tonight...they are sitting in my fire place...


We even have a little tree in our bedroom...

Love of my life has already hung his stocking up on the bed post...bless his little cotton socks...

The last few days here the weather has been very wintery & christmassey..we have had snow the last few days & very sharp frosts as you can see on my garden mirror...how does the ice make such pretty patterns?...
