Christmas Countdown Calendar
« on: December 01, 2017, 09:03 »
The first person each morning who wants to join in and finds the day empty can post a garden or plot related picture of what they would like to see in the calendar.
Have fun, but keep it clean  ;)


Day 1 Deck the hall with boughs of holly?

OH SANTA!
Santa's tumbled down my tree
Because he had a G&T,
So then he had another one
And thought "By Jove, it's lots more fun
Than trudging out in rain and snow.
I'll tell my Sat-Nav where to go.
I'm sick of wedging in chimney flues
And dry mince pies give me the blues.
How on earth can you feel jolly
When your bum gets pricked on boughs of holly?
Now Rudolph's got the rheumatiz.
Can't pull the sleigh. Can't do the biz,
But don't feel sorry and don't feel sad
Because I'm feeling rather glad.
Now that I am getting older
A weight's been lifted off my shoulder
'Cos all the presents that you get
They've all been bought on the internet!
Oh Santa.jpg
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Day 1

I enjoy doing embroidery of this style. 
So it's a jacobean "Partridge in a Pear Tree" for me.

Very sweet  :D

I was trying to get my garden robin to pose for a picture this morning, but he was too intent in chasing everyone else off the food he had demanded with menaces  :lol:
