christmas has arrived in waghorn terrace

although i have lost my voice and had to stay in all day (alone!) i felt in the mood to get out the decorations and tree and put some bits around. i have some new lights this year - and i love pretty lights. watched a lovely xmas movie with steve guttenberg (ho ho ho) dont know what it was called... now the candles are lit and im watching strictly semi final, vic is babysitting at amy's and i might get myself something to eat.

there is also the question of xmas cards, not bought or made any yet so cant see me getting them written and sent any time soon... cut up last years cards today to make some bunting..oops not put that up yet!

hannah and mark bought me these - they are just gorgeous and remind me of dad - he loved to grow dahlias and our garden in Ilford was full of them in all colours and varieties.
