No time like The Present!

So here we are on Boxing Day and I did say I'd share with you our favourite present. This beautiful sycamore plate was turned by my sister, who then drew this scene from Borrowdale - our honeymoon location - using pyrography. She's a talented person! We absolutely love it.

Another prezzie from the same person had me busy in the garden this afternoon, planting 33 Allium bulbs, in three different varieties. It was so mild and the sun was almost shining, so it was good to be outdoors. Admittedly, there's been a fair bit of shut-eye since, but that's permissible over the Christmas period, isn't it?
