Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! If you have a question, I'll also endeavour to get back to you over at your place.

My general policy re comments
I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.
Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.
I've been soooo rubbish with decs this year! nice to see other people making the effort!
ReplyDeleteHi VP
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you'd post some pics of the wreaths. I cut some willow withies on Monday and they're sitting on my drive. I've done some hedge laying so I thought I'd just apply the same principles as for binding to make a bit of a wreath. There's some Holly that's been cut on the allotment and I'll stick that in too.
You posted about hedge folklore - such a rich subject - I always plant holly in a hedge so the witches don't get a clear run along the top.
The five-pointed wreath is pretty and it looks easy enough to have a go.
I think you have Christmas cracked though - it really is about getting together with friends and eating too many mince pies.
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them!
Simon - that's exactly what you need to do. You may need a teensy bit of wire to get started with, but should be able to add in further willow wands without needing to secure them. A touch of holly will make a luxury wreath this year - have you heard it's in short supply? Not so with mistletoe though. Apparently the summer wet was good for mistletoe but not holly!
