Christmas greetings....

I think I am all done.

The Christmas tree was decorated in record time this year.... Lights and decorations thrown on with one eye on pup playing with the empty boxes.


The Trumpeting angel is in place...


Presents hastily wrapped,

Guest beds made and ready for visitors from London and America.


Parisian girl will be celebrating with her school friend who also works in Paris, several French friends and her school friend's parents and dog who will be travelling all the way from Northumberland. 
I think it is going be a tight squeeze in her Paris apartment on Christmas Day... But I'm sure it will be great fun for them all!

Our freezer is standing by with Waitrose reduced bargains, the treat cupboard is full of nuts, crisps, nibbles, chocolates, and my favourite from Aldi...

Torrone...


Italian nougat with hazelnuts and pistachios... Totally moreish.
I think I may have emptied the shelf in our local store... The last three boxes were swiftly popped in my basket and I haven't seen anymore back on the shelves.
If you find any grab it quick.


Wishing all those who read my blog and to those who are kind enough to leave comments...

A big Merry Christmas from me and my new best friend...


Gorgeous Ottie xxxx
