Christmas Competition

It’s the first day of advent, and it was Cadburys for breakfast for daughter Juliet. When I was little, there was no chocolate involved in advent calendars. But enough of that humbug! …

My blog’s first competition closed yesterday and tis time to find out who won. Firstly thank you to everyone who entered. I made the draw this lunchtime, and first out of the hat came Denise, and runner-up was Michaela. I’ve emailed both of you and a selection of my handsewn Christmas decorations will be on their way to you as soon as you send me back your mailing details – Congratulations!
