VERY NAUGHTY GIRL just caught up...

[VirginVegGrower]

Just for you gal!

Hmmm hmmmmmm! Ooh la la! Your tree does not disappoint Nicos - merci beaucoup!

Decied aginst having a tree, a, because space is limited this year, b, because i can't justify it as i won't be here long enough to appreciate it, although c, I may change my mind because i love the smell.....
so anyway, so far, I have a window....the stuff in the background is falling snow and th emelt on the windw yeehaw!!!

Sounds a bit....er...well....final Taff. I hope that's not the case

This is my Xmas tree - very traditional in style. The 1st fake one I've ever had. Real ones are soooooo expensive this year.

I did this one at the weekend with my 10 year old grandaughter. One of three altogether

Re cakes, cake has been cooked for months but don't ice any more as don't really like it, just put loads of cherries and nuts on top when I baked so it looks great.

Same here, cant rush a real xmas cake,needs time to mature imo, with lots of feeding with brandy(Or pot or sherry) lol Not too bothered about icing either.

I think the cat's ear has come out very well.

They both look beautiful Jules. If that cake is something you *aren't* good at, then I'd love to be that bad too

Got to add some sparkly finishing touches, then DD can take a photo with her all-singing-all-dancing camera tomorrow. That cake isn't nearly as perfect as I'd like because it's for someone else. For our lighter fruit cake I'm contemplating an all over white marzipan, with marzipan stars etc, that you then bake in a hot oven to brown and crisp it style-of-thing. No icing, cos we aren't keen on all that sweetness.

Phew thats a relief.

Love / hate relationship with The Star. It belonged to my beloved Grandma and I took it as a reminder when she died. Not really me but gotta love cos it reminds me of her every time I look at it and it is very bling Funny thing is last year it stopped working, this year its fine again.

Here's mine - a bit blurry, never had a steady hand with a camera (or much else really )
