    Let's see what you got for Christmas ... [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    We particularly like this serving platter, 34cm/13in in diameter from our neighbours. It comes from a very exclusive shop in Portugal ... a loja do gato preto (the shop of the black cat) ... but our friends always remember our white cats from England.

    T'other half says we should use it year round ... or, in the words of Wizard ... "I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day". :rolleyes:

    Off to have our oriental duck and vegetable rice Christmas dinner ... on our new Christmas platter. [​IMG]

    Hope everyone is having a lovely day. [​IMG]

    Our main present to each other this year was this house. As you can imagine,not a great deal of money left for fancy pressies,low key token gifts this year,just as rewarding.

    Will probably buy a small Island next year :D :D :D

    P.S
    Got much needed gardening tools and a gardening encyclopedia from my wife and daughter.

    More than pleased [​IMG]

    P.S

    A squirrel proof bird feeder and B and Q vouchers as well as everything else.

    Isn`t it nice when you get practical gifts which you know will give you years of service but above all,are useful. [​IMG]

    Being sensible and grown up can be fun :D :D :D

    Mainly and wine and cheques.Also the A-Z of garden plants by Murdoch books, recomended and IMO easier to use than the RHS one.

    Treating myself to a new lap top in the sales and also two new bluetoth enabled mp3 radios for the van and truck and a parrot evolution handsfree for the van.
