Had a wonderful Sunday yesterday. In the morning I watched Miss Holly creating a @cadburyireland chocolate house and being creative decorating it. Then I got busy preparing for friends and enjoyed one of the most relaxed afternoons in a long time. That’s what Christmas is all about #christmas #chocolate #friends #family #afternoontea
Looking forward to hosting two of my closest friends this afternoon - I haven’t entertained in a long while so today is extra special. Tried a new dessert for Christmas so my friends are the taste tester as well. Wishing all you lovelies a great 3rd Advent Sunday xx
One of the German traditions is to have the Engelspiel out at Christmas. They are made either from wood or as here from thin brass. This little beauty is rather small but they are available in more elaborate designs and sizes. Isn’t it just beautiful?? #christmas #germantradition #engelspiel #christmasdecor

Got a bit peckish on the way home - almost missed @woodfieldcafe_and_gardencentre - so glad we made the u-turn. Lovely little cafe with a great selection of artisan produce, delicious food and tasty cakes… Mr T was very happy with his Bakewell tart and my falafel wrap was yummylicious #hiddengem #gardencafe
