Deck the halls...

Since my last post we've made some progress on the allotment - we managed to find two more pallets so last weekend went down to the plot to build two more raised beds. Here's Matt making the finishing touches in the failing light.



Christmas has also arrived in Tonbridge. We took a day off in the week to go to the Wealden Timea Midwinter Fair - which was so lovely but a little pricey for our pockets but we did come home with locally grown rapeseed oil and mayonaise, which are absolutely delicious. We also got some local blue brie and some local apple juice! We never say no to local food!

We also got our Christmas tree, which was grown locally (of course!!) in Rolvenden and have adorned it with our homemade decorations from last year. Matt made his paper tinsle and I have to say it looks just lovely.



I also finished off the stockings that I started last year. I didn't manage to get the letters on last year so have just finished, and I'm so pleased with the final product.



I've been at my friend's house today being fitted for a bridesmaid dress and came home to the lovely smell of freshly baked bread. Matt baked two loaves which we've sliced and will freeze for later.



That's all of our news for now.
