On Sunday night, the first day of the busiest and most frantic month of the year, there was a lovely haven of true Christmas spirit in St Agnes, Cornwall. The lovely Kate was holding a wreath making party and lots and lots of us made our way up the lane lined by candles to join in.
Lit by candles, firelight and fairy lights (which is why the photos are a bit grainy), and fuelled by mulled wine and homemade mince pies, we chatted and laughed and eventually got round to making some wreaths.
Kate had provided mountains of greenery, beautiful dried seed heads, Hazel whithies and all the hardware required - Copper rings, wire etc.
Keen makers settled all over the house surrounded by greenery and bon homie.
And there was only a little bit of competition and almost no pinching of each others greenery - all very civilised!
Against the odds (baring in mind the mulled wine element and the endless distractions) wreaths started to appear...
…in all different shapes, sizes and styles.
So HUGE thanks to Kate (in the middle) for starting off the festive month so wonderfully. It was a magical evening, in a beautiful place, shared with lovely people - just what Christmas is all about.
(that and mince pies - obviously!)
