We were up and out quite early yesterday, not to do anything really special, we needed a walk in the fresh air.
I collected some face cleansers from Boots, who didn't have it in the store, in fact talking to the sales assistant last week you'd have thought I was asking for an unknown item, face wash cream didn't register with her at all, So I ordered it on line and had it delivered to the store.
A mooch round the veg shops as Dh loves Russet apples and I got a pomegranate, which I love!
Then we did something we rarely do, we went to Costa and had a cheese toastie and a mince pie and coffee! Well we don't have an oven at the moment so an excuse to eat out, altho' we could have made a cheese toastie at home, and the mince pie was not the food plan, but very nice!
When we got home we decorated our tree, a smaller one this year but it is just right for our lounge. We used to buy really big trees but in the last few years 4 to 5 ft is big enough..we have more than enough sparkly decs to go on it and we have white lights. We still hang some bells on the lowest branches, which we always did, so we'd know if the dog went near to it, as its in a 'well' of water and given a chance she'd be there drinking it!
A very nice morning strolling along looking in the Christmassy shop windows.

That sounds like a great way to spend the day :) I love a toastie.
ReplyDeleteNice outing 🤶🎅🎄
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have a naughty treat now and again! I quite fancy trying a Gingerbread Latte, I've never had one!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely pre-Christmas trip. My new tree this year is only 5 feet also. Small house calls for a small tree now for me.
ReplyDeleteSounds so nice. It is much too cold here for strolling, though.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a cheese toastie? Not a thing here, but it sounds good. And mince pie! Need to get to baking a bit next week!
Glad you had a nice outing! Good idea to put bells on the tree. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a 'walkable' town. Either way, your day sounds very enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThe stroll sounds lovely. A treat of the season!
ReplyDeleteSounds a very nice outing to me :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It sounds like a lovely Christmassy outing. We have a smaller tree these days, too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day, picking up a few things you needed, enjoying a lovely meal, and then, decorating your tree. Thank you, too, for all the lovely songs you've linked in your posts. I've been enjoying listening to them.
