I've been sorting my seed packets out today. As usual whenever I do this I get help from my little friend Holly. Although I'm not sure that help is the right word.

Holly cat has been to the vet for her health check. She was very good. The vet cut out some of her matted fur so she has a bald patch now.😿

The Christmas tree has been cut up and is in bin bags now. It will be put through the garden shredder and the shreddings used to mulch the blueberries at the allotment. The trunk can be used as a plant support.

Today was a baking day. I've made ginger cake and shortbread. That's the third lot of shortbread I've made in the last few weeks. Two lots for other people, this is for us. 😋

Our day at #LythamHall was wonderful. 'A Dickens of a Christmas '. The rooms all represented different Dickens books. I don't think I've ever seen so many Christmas trees in one place.

Good morning! Hoping for a dry day. I'm going out with my daughter today to Lytham Hall #Lancashire to see it all done up for Christmas.
