Christmas Begins?

My siter in law Janet came over today and we went to the Hothouse Cafe for a leisurely lunch at The Medicine Garden near Cobham. We had a lovely afternoon and it was great to catch up and perhaps forget about things which are worrying us both. We also discovered that The Garden was hosting a "private view" with 10% discount, a glass of vin chaud and a mince pie. We both bought various exciting things from The Art Shed and it was an additional surprise when Penny turned up with some teacher friends from school. The Christmas tree in the photo was set up in The Art Shed and decorated with beautiful glass and ceramic trinkets.
