WOYWW 654 15th December

 Sorry I have been very hit and miss these last few weeks, I promise to do better. 

Hope you are ready for Christmas, I just don't have the Christmas feeling this year. It is quite low key here not at all commercialised. 

I have a Christmas lunch with four friends on Thursday so that may put me more in the mood and another one at knitting/sewing next Wednesday. Then I am turkeyed out so it is beef for Christmas dinner. 

I have been busy knitting and crocheting these blankets for our local cats home, which I delivered today. They were gratefully received.

Instead of Christmas cards for the ladies of the knitting/sewing class I made these little socks and put a wrapped chocolate in each one. Will take them today and see their reaction.

Some of you may have seen my poinsettia photo on facebook, I bought it as a small plant many years ago and planted in the garden. This year it has flowered just at the right time.

When I came to live in Spain permanently well over 20 years ago I purchased a small Christmas tree in a pot for my first Christmas, then afterwards planted it in the garden. Up until a few years ago I decorated it with lights but now it is so tall I can no longer put lights on it. 

 And the last garden photo is of my orange and grapefruit trees. The grapefruits are pink ones and so sweet. I am not supposed to eat them because of the tablets I take, but can't resist one every so often. I have plenty of friends who love them so they don't go to waste.

I suppose my garden has been my work area this last week, always lots of work to do this time of year. 

Well that is me for this week now I will join up with the rest of the ladies at https://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/ and hopefully visit you all during the week.
