Well, here they are for one last time - The Herd has gathered for a final shot before heading off to the North Pole (aka The Loft) until next Christmas.
All the trees & decorations piled up ready to be packed away - doesn't the house look empty & drab once everything is gone? Time for a few pots of bulbs to brighten things up I think! I have given my blog a New Year makeover too.
As for Pippa - she doesn't want to be woken up until spring as it's so chilly today!
Mr C went back to work today & it's The Boy's last day of holidays so we are going to see a film this afternoon. Miss C will be at home for the rest of this week & then she is back to uni again & the house will be very quiet during the day once more.I am, however, looking forward to the spring & the next Vintage & Handmade Fair - I've just realised that it is only 4 months away & I need to find new stock to take along so that will keep me busy!
How lovely that you've got another week with your daughter!
ReplyDeleteMine went back to her uni house in Brighton on New Year's Eve!
Your cat looks very cozy!

I packed my Christmas trimmings away on 1st January to start the new year afresh. The "Santa Convention" has been booked for next Christmas in the meantime they are all on holiday in the loft, Felicity has taken up residence in my craftroom!
ReplyDeleteAh Jayne, great that you made your New Year's wish in Dutch! I think I was the last one to put the Christmas decorations up and I probably be the last to take it down. It's still Christmas on my blog too, I think at least to Epiphany! I like your blog make over though!
ReplyDeleteOnly one more week left here with a full house, both off back to uni this weekend :(

I wish I could curl up with Pippa till Spring that bed looks sooo comfy!!! love Lucey xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely herd it is! It has taken me a couple of days to get all my holiday decor packed away too. Finally finished, so hubby can take the tree down tonight.
ReplyDeleteYou're quite right it always does look slightly sad once the Christmas decorations have come down

Only cats can curl up and look THAT cosy! The reindeer photo made me smile. :O)))))
ReplyDeleteThe loft??? My deers are now back in their normal home :) Love the photo of Pippa.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very happy 2010.
ReplyDeleteLove your new blog look! It is sad to see all the coziness come down....but , like you said...time for some pots of flowers and bright colors to come in! It is cold here in Tennessee, US also......not above freezing for many days...and we're not used to that! Stay warm and cozy!
ReplyDeleteI think Pipa has the best idea, she looks incredibly cosy and warm.
