My favourites - Nigel Slater’s ‘A Cook’s Book’, a lovely mug with a hare on (I love hares), and some over ear headphones (in-ear ones hurt me).

The delicious food parcel which DD has just delivered to the end of my garden path as DH has Covid and yesterday’s plans were scuppered. smile

A Sussex trug from DH (I had been dropping heavy hints)

Lots of lovely presents but my favourite was a small wooden box made from holly with a secret compartment. It’s gorgeous and very unusual.

A jigsaw puzzle printed with one of my favourite photos of me and my two grandsons. It was a lovely surprise ?

Amanda Owen’s book, “ Celebrating the Seasons with the Yorkshire Shepherdess.” Look forward to shutting myself away with a good read.

A single electric blanket. Finally I’m going to be warm in bed again. ?

A pair of socks with Robins on them from a young GD with a self-drawn card.

I had lots of lovely presents but my most challenging gift will be the double-sided, very intricate jigsaw puzzle one of my DC gave me. I think it’ll take me months! grin

Ours are still wrapped and under the tree. We are doing the present thing tomorrow when the family come to visit.
I'm hoping for a Ninja hot & cold blender/soup maker. The box is about the right size, but I could well be wrong.

Orlin wanted an exercise bike which we bought a few weeks ago as he can’t walk far with his gammy leg.
He then took it upon himself to surprise me on Christmas morning with a walking machine so that I can keep him company!
I did plaster on a big smile but not really sure how to take it.
Now both taking up space in my studio which was, until yesterday, my calm space.

The husband got me a bronze hare sculpture I had been lusting after for months.

My OH got me a retro railway style clock with a thermometer on the other side. It not plastic and looks like the real thing. I chose it! It will look nice hanging on the wall outside. All my other presents were lovely too.
