in The potting shed
A dainty silver necklace, The Screwtape Letters by C.S.Lewis, Sweet Thursday by John Steinbeck, a colourful silk waistcoat, lots of chocolates, a teatowel with Bible verses on it, a cyclamen (I think it's hederifolia), a £25 garden centre voucher, a cheque for£100, which I shall spend on hedging plants once Lindsay the tree man has taken out the old hedge next month.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    My favourite perfume, a lovely gardener’s ‘carry all’ with tools including very good trowel and fork, selection of favourite body lotion and shower gel etc in a smart bag, elegant gin ‘balloon’ glasses and  books I wanted. I’m a very lucky Dove.  B)

    Santa brought me a new kitten and a 10-stop filter for my photography. Thrilled to bits with both although neither was a surprise. I have been watching (via video) over the kitten since it was born. Could do with some sleep though. 
    It was almost a disastrous chocolate-free Christmas for me until I opened my present from my brother-in-law. He came up trumps! He also bought me a TileMate - anyone got one? It's for finding lost keys etc. Thinking of attaching it to the kitten so I can find him when he snuggles away in little spaces! Happy days!

    Some lovely gifts you have all had. 
    I had loads of jigsaws (my indoor relax hobby), a handbag, scarf, perfume, bottle of Baileys and some wireless headphones. I am really grateful for my gifts and hope my recipients liked theirs too. 
    Edit: and had the No Such Thing As A Fish Book of the year 2018.
    My garden and I live in South Wales.
