You get a quick glimpse of our display and that's our Jo at the end suggesting that cakes & tea would be a good improvement to the process ! Jo is our magical fundraiser - she's secured us around £7,000 so far I think - amazing ! Izzy has a starring role too - sorry Izzy, I've forgotten your blogger name ...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I'm sure you are all enjoying this seasonal weather as much as I am ! Minus 4 today at midday here in Sheffield ... super. Well at least the garlic will be enjoying it. Goodness knows whether I have any broadbeans left - they were just germinating when the snow arrived - the mice had only found one, but I'm sure they've rectified that !

So no lottie news to report - as much as I'm missing it, I'm also enjoying the central heating ! We'll see what the new year brings - hopefully some sunshine.

In the meantime, here are three extremely grumpy Santas for you to enjoy.

They are obsessed with the Christmas presents, ribbons, bag etc and are also doing their best to de-nude the tree of it's decorations and needles - in fact, this pretty much represents my house at the moment - enjoy ! http://www.simonscat.com/santaclaws.html

Happy Christmas to you and your families - hope you have all been good for Santa
Happy Holidays to those of you who don't celebrate Christmas xx
