A rare event

Christmas Eve is usually a last minute scramble for late presents, sellotape, trifle sponges and spare tree light bulbs. But we're having lunch at DB's parents this year and the young Trillia are at their Dad's from tonight so the pressure's off. And what's a girl to do when she's got an hour or so to spare and the weather's good? A spot of winter gardening of course.

I planted the last of the white tulips in next door's 'white walk' while they were out and some white narcissus under the pittosporum. It feels like guerrilla horticulture, sneaking in when they aren't around and putting something nice in...

In this garden I just carried on the long slow job of clearing up this year's debris. Still about a week's work to do on it before the garden's ready for 2006 - but I haven't got a week so most jobs simply won't get done.

A very Happy Christmas to one and all.
