I keep seeing on Instagram all these people putting up their Christmas decorations!  Now you know I love Christmas but even I think it is a little too early on November 17th to be putting them up.  I know the stores have had the decorations up for a while now but it is sort of expected and the decorations are going up in the towns but I have seen quite a few homes already decorated.  I think it is because people are so fed up with the World as it is at the moment that the decorations add a little bit of cheer.  Saying all this I have decided to get our decorations down and sort them out next weekend!!!!

I think I will change my Blog over to a more Christmas feel in the next few days.

DH was out all weekend and I did get some quilting done which is not quite finished yet.  I still need to get five more little quilts done before Christmas so may take the odd day here and there to ensure they get done.  

Speaking of Christmas this film is 35 years old on November 16th!  Now how did that happen?  DH and I went to the cinema to see it when it first came out, I was 26 and DH 33 and we had been married for two years.  I remember sitting in the cinema crying with laughter at the film, I don’t remember any other film ever having that affect on me.  I just loved it and still watch it now all through the year but especially at Christmas.  I think Christmas movies are like Christmas songs there are a few which you play every year and are never fed up of and will play them on repeat well Home Alone is definitely one of them.  I do not like Home Alone 2 or any of the subsequent ones just the original.  

Here are some pictures of our garden in its Autumn finery.  The big space in the picture above is where we have had to take out the Box bush so that will stay like this now until Spring when I have some plans for some new plants to go in. 

Our two trees in the garden the one onthe right which is the cherry tree has lost all of its leaves now.  The one on the left is the Cotoneaster which keeps its leaves all year except for a few is sheds.  It was trimmed when the men came into more of a round shape.

The conifers have also had  trim and shape as well at the top of the steps.  We still have a little bit of work to do with trimming some of the summer plants which need to be done in the next two weeks when it will be the last brown bin of the season.  

Coco is having a snooze this morning!!!!  The weather is turning this week into more of our normal Autumn temperatures with freezing overnight so she is getting into hibernation mode!

Have a wonderful week and I will post photographs as and when I get the Christmas decorations up!! 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
