I also made stars and festive squirrels. 🐿️ (it’s a tradition in our house.)
Star and squirrel shaped biscuits with edible gold glitter.

Made festive biscuits. The recipe is thanks to @nigella.bsky.social
Christmas spiced biscuits in the shape of trees and holly leaves “rusticly” decorated with a bit of coloured red and green icing.

Gilly is displeased with the weather outside the front door. He’s checked and it’s also the same weather outside the back door. 🌧️

Whenever someone mentions turnip…..
A still from an episode of Blackadder. A man dressed as a Tudor puritan says: “Exactly the same shape as a thingy.”

Tree is up. Gilly has shown no interest whatsoever. It’s his first Christmas with us - or #Chonkmas as we are now calling it.

Bare trees illuminated pink against the night sky and reflected in water. Hedging covers the base of the trees.

Lovely contrast of colours at football training this evening.
A tree, whose leaves have turned golden yellow, looks almost illuminated against the inky night sky. A white picket fence borders the tree.

I missed #StirUpSunday so it’ll be stir up Thursday in our house. Just soaking my dried fruit in brandy ready for tomorrow.

Thanks to #KatieAbey for this brilliant range of art.
