Blue spruce and mixing bowls

This is the single worst quality picture ever posted. A Blackberry is no 40D, but it was all i had at the time.
Yesterday the air was filled the scent of blue spruce and holly, not than holly is scented. To most this is evocative of mince pies, presents, carol singing, to a florist it is evocative of 24 hour days, the flu and layers upon layers of clothing.
It was all in aid of a magazine photo shoot, 4 things to do in the home for Christmas. I fear the picture of me will be horrendous, I have a tendency to grimace at a camera, I just don't have the confidence to look cool, sophisticated or knowledgeable. I did manage to get a manicure, bright red nails, that is sure to set the cat amongst the pigeons.

There is a strange wind blowing again, the furniture in the shop has moved around and the new window is somewhat minimal.

The Hound and The Aristocrat have gone out for the day.........to a conker championship.
