A Most Wonderful Festive Find ……

We haven’t had time to post this before, but on Christmas Eve Darrell nipped up town to buy our festive sprouts from the small market as he has a huge thing about said seasonal vegetable being in its primest condition when served with our Christmas dinner ………

……. and as our very favourite charity shop of choice was open, it would have just looked plain rude not to pop in and have a little mooch wouldn’t it?

And boy, was our boy rewarded when this Santa throw leapt out at him …… for just £2.50! He returned home with his sprouts and throw held aloft, like a dog who had found a ball, two bones and a squeaky toy in his stocking!

It goes without saying that  it was in the washer (on fast wash) tout suite, followed by the dryer, to be on the sofa, reeking of festive fabric softener by mid afternoon, ready for us to avail ourselves of all its snug pleasures.

We’ve always had Christmas bedding,  as well as cushions etc, but never a throw,  so a new tradition has been born, especially where our festive televisual viewing is concerned.  The boy dun gud, very gud indeed!
