Countdown to Christmas: Day 9


As we're going away on Monday for our big festive holiday, a lot of the day was spent getting ready and finishing off some jobs that needed to be done before we go. However, we did have a very special annual event planned for the evening.

Christmas Diffuser




We lit our new Christmas wax diffuser for the first time today! The first incredibly festive wax melt we tried was Dickens Carol from Olive and B.

Christmas Dinner on the East Lancs








Tonight was our annual trip to the East Lancashire Railway for Christmas Dinner on a steam train. The weather was pretty wild tonight, so we were slightly disturbed (but fortunately not derailed) by what may or may not have been a werewolf attack. But I had my second festive wellington, and my second Christmas pudding, of the year!

Christie and Whisky



Also an annual tradition... when we got home from the train, we watched And Then There Were None, accompanied by a lovely dram of Kingsbarns whisky (a pre-Christmas present from a friend).

Advent Tea



Behind Door No. 9 in my Bird and Blend Tea calendar... Rudolph's Night Shift!

Advent Jewellery



And behind Door No. 9 in my Avon jewellery calendar... a pair of pearl earrings!
