Countdown to Christmas: Day 13


Another day of Christmas fun, and the first full day of our annual pre-Christmas Cornish retreat!

Advent Tea



Today's advent tea from my Bird and Blend Tea calendar was Tea and Toast (which you may remember we had at Lammas as well)!

Wireless Station




First proper day of our holiday in Cornwall. We're staying in Lizard, at a National Trust property that was once Marconi's wireless station!

Fuzzy Duck Gift Set




Back at the beginning of my Halloween celebrations in October, I won a Baylis and Harding Fuzzy Duck gift set on a tombola at a funday at Boggart Hole Clough. I saved it for my winter holiday, so I've got Mulberry and Mistletoe body butter and Frosted Christmas Tree shower gel to enjoy while we're away.

Don’t Look Back



I usually read a lot while we're away in December, so all year I've been saving up books to bring that suit the season and/or the location. The first book I read from my pile was Don't Look Back by Ben Cheetham, which is set in Lizard.

Sint



Continued our annual Christmas viewing with Sint (aka Saint) this evening.

Stay Another Day



I read another book tonight that I'd been saving for Christmas, as it's super-festive - Stay Another Day by Juno Dawson.
