I took the tree down yesterday, and was promptly in the doghouse with Tam, who wanted it to stay up longer, so here is my alternative "Wintering" of the hall - little birds and baubles from the main tree on some beech I gathered before Christmas.
Our beautiful new bedding was soon washed and on the bed. It's 300 count so very fine. LOVE the colour and William Morris Strawberry Thief design. I must get started on the William Morris heirloom quilt the girls bought me the fabrics for 2 birthdays ago . . .
Here are the Meeces and Mr Robin waiting to be put away for another year.
The Christmas tree decorations, gathered over many years, when we would each choose a special bauble for the tree. About to be carried back up to the attic.
Finally, a view of our valley from a recent walk. Off to the beach today to blow away the cobwebs and I hope, clear my nose!
