Christmas presents are getting ready and it was big fun to prepare it all because the snow came early and put me in the right mood to transform some of these nice fabrics I had bought recently at the haberdashery fair in Sprimont.
Not only many birds were attracted by the seeds but also this fellow.
EG is not amused as he believes that he -or she- is guilty to have stolen his rare acorns from Bodnant gardens which he had planted in pots in the little greenhouse.
Other fellows are not amused by his presence, neither.
There was permanent competition between the little robin who thought he was the king, as he had already his crown.
And there was even more competition to come.
Pictures are taken through the kitchen window, sorry.
Plenty of different finches this year.
The boxwood knot looks only good covered in snow - I fear that the plants will not survive next year and I have to do it all again.
More competition for the little robin.
The house gets slowly ready for Christmas. What a joy to have the piggery finished and to be able to have not only a parlour but also enough space in the annexe for the big table.
Some new christmas tree decoration had been bought two years before but I forgot all about it until I opened the boxes again.
Last year we had no tree and special decoration out due to work on piggery so it was a great discovery!
Our family Christmas meal happened on 27th and we were all together :-)
We had a fabulous time and even the dog had a treat which was found by the wee twins under their Christmas tree.
With those impressions I will close the year and send my best wishes to all my readers for a very happy New Year.
