On Friday I took my daughter and her children to see the Ignite Garden display at Kingston Lacy
Which was a magical way to meet outside at the start of their Christmas holidays.
This is Little Miss M, in a pixie hat I knitted, who just seemed to feel right at home in the Fern Garden
As we were walking round, we were talking about Christmas trees and I was telling the children how I used to take my children into the woods to collect fallen branches, that we would take home, and decorate for our tree as I did not want to kill a tree for Christmas.
Nowadays, I don’t ‘do’ Christmas and haven’t put any Christmas decorations up for years. I will be in a caravan by the sea this year, and I am really looking forward to it.
On Saturday, Little Miss M walked over to my house with a present
…….a branch they had to cut off their tree to balance it, topped with a decoration I had made with the children a couple of years ago
and some pink yarn because I like pink. She carried the lametta in her pocket so it wouldn’t blow away and then put it on the ‘tree’ as she gave it to me.
Heart-melting! I will take it with me to my caravan by the sea!
