Our Christmas tree filled with all sorts of decorations collected on our travels and kept from when we were children!
My little Christmas Train which Shaun brought back for me from Disney World! I love it!
These very precous Christmas Balls were given to me by my Sister-in-law Caroline who bought them when she was living in Poland
These very special sleighs, our girls made when they were only 5 and 7! I love them!
Well, we STILL don't have lights on our tree (no point in undoing the whole thing and starting again!) but we DO have our African Christmas tree and the girls DO have their stockings! YEAH! My very special Baobab Tree - our little bit of African Christmas!
Now what are we going to do about the heat? We had Rob and the girls over for a little Christmas lunch and we spent the whole day in the pool - it was a scorcher! We had a stunning day though - here was our menu:
Prawn starter with sweet chilli sauce / garlic mayno
Roast leg of lamb with mint sauce
Roast Potatoes
Steamed vegetables with butter and crushed almonds
Summer Salad
Individual trifles with cream and chocolate sprinkles
We won't be seeing them for Christmas as the girls will be spending it with their mother this year. But we had a lovely time together and Rob spoilt me with a bottle of Moet & Chandon - my absolute favourite!
Our table all set for "Christmas Lunch"!
This is how we spent our day - cooling off in the pool!
... only 3 days and counting until we go off to spend Christmas with our dear friends Dave and Niunia - and I still have so much to do!

could do with a bit heat here but mustn't complain it is really quite mild and at least it's not snowing!!!
Love the Christmas balls they look very delicate and also the Baobab Tree, gorgeous.
Take care, Judith
Love your decorations!! I have a wire tree too, but didn't get around to buying decorations for it. LOL!
