I love that your milking has been so successful. It sounds like you're ver comfortable with it. And your gun safety course? I did one but then chickened out and never applied for the lisence!

It has been up to my daughters to assemble tree and adorn, make advent calender (envelopes stuck on wall!), and any other festive actions. Hoping to get to the gift organising this week. Nice to catch up on your news and visit your space again. :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204291906401193716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-51387456162972162802013-12-13T20:29:27.758+11:002013-12-13T20:29:27.758+11:00Your tree is beautiful and festive and I like how ...Your tree is beautiful and festive and I like how it looks snow covered.

Good on you for allowing the Christmas tree decorating to be taken over by Julia. I'm a control freak when it comes to decorating for Christmas and maybe why Lew's never been interested in the decorating part:( Your calfy looks so cute. I'm thinking everyone is in a similarboat this eyar re: being not ready for Christmas. I haven't bought a single thing yet and the tree only went up this past week. I've made one batch of shortbread and that's it so far. Hopefully I'll get my act together very soon. Enjoy being relaxed and carefree this Christmas:)And if you get to it, you get to it;) xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06894025320777652313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-8299138724478003382013-12-13T04:26:56.156+11:002013-12-13T04:26:56.156+11:00What a splendid recap!

I've just returned from an unexpected bloggy break and wondered if you were having the same! <br />Your white Christmas tree looks fantastic considering I've never thought they looked 'right'! I'm a bit of a control freak when it comes to decorating the tree too but have finally learnt to loosen up and of course I enjoy it just as much when it's a bit lopsided anyway!! <br />And don't worry, I'm sure there are many of us late organisers around..... my list goes like this - make biscuits, make spiced nuts, make marinated olives all for gifting; plant out the poly tunnel; purchase last minute gifts; clean house; weed garden; decorate tree; write Christmas letter; and so on! No, you are not the only one!!

To make you feel better, total chaos reigns at our place with all the end of year hooha plus a 5th birthday party just gone. The tree is not up, no cards have been written by me ( the kids did do all the ones for their school friends last night) and no christmas shopping ticked off yet. Time for some deep breaths and long lists. Come boxing day we will all be lolling around relaxed and full, we just have to get through as best we can until then. mel xBungalowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591099131301027446noreply@blogger.com
