Competition

With somewhat of an unspoken yearly competition between father and daughter in the handmade Christmas card stakes, I give you the two contenders.

On the left the clever 3 dimensional folding card assembly of the manger and star by his Lordship's brother, an architect of some renown, and on the right the clever cutout Christmas tree hanging from the holly wreath, the work of his daughter, our niece, a talented weaver, jeweller and craftswoman.

It makes a mockery of our efforts in that area, which simply involves sticking photos on to cards.

Please feel free to judge the overall winner. As to my decision? I couldn't possibly say, but you can.
