NAME THAT BACKSIDE!

Who has a rear like this???

ON A BREAK!

Laura taking a breather before Pete gets her again and Steven wishing he had more than 2 hours sleep last night..in his new hat.. I bet you are really wishing you had one of our wonderful presents aren't you....!!! Mind you it does kind of suit Steven!

PETE AND THE PUPPET!

Pete had a very useful present, which would keep him amused for hours and hours, if only to torment all that he saw... He had an emu puppet which he freaked Laura right out with constantly, I think he frightened the cat too! amongst others!...Still Pete was kept busy! One of many tasteful, expensive, exquisite presents from yours truly....

WARM THEME!

I am not sure if I just felt cold when I bought presents this year, but they seemed to have a theme running through them.....to keep warm....Steven had a rather desirable pair of ear muffs tastefully shaped into frogs!!!!!! and Laura had a pair of slippers shaped in a VW camper van!!! Oh we know how to live!!!!

TABLE ALL SET!

The table was set for 12 of us, it looked great a real banquet!....Except I had to cook it! and serve it hot with a bit of luck...Laura made individual wrapped marzipan snowmen for the table too...oh and my cake looks ok here too, considering I made it in my wellies!!!!! Well not the cake I mean I was wearing my wellies in one of my mad multi tasking events!!!!

DOGS AND PRESSIES

Christmas morning came bright and early...5am in fact when I woke everyone up with a Ho Ho Ho and get out of bed...He's been!!!!...Yeap it starts early here, I don't sleep all night so I think I do quite well waiting until 5am!!.. Lucky had a Santa, Gem a Christmas tree and Shadow a reindeer and they all loved them, took them all outside and chewed them for hours!!!

TIM!!!

Tim who works with us in Purl Design is really getting the hang of this madness at Woodmill. We have had him watching Dixie give birth and countless other mad things...And now he has caved in to wearing a Santa coat...Next year it will be the who suit!!!! HO HO HO..PS Tractor Annie says nice hair!!

MRS SANTA DOES THE DUCKS!!!

After wading around in the icy waters the ducks finally came round to the fact that Mrs Santa was their feed!...It was cold and I was quite glad not to have slipped!....And Mr Santa was in with the chickens...not sure what people think really that pass by on the road!!!

MR& MRS SANTA

Ok you'll be sick of Christmas after all the next hundred Xmas entries...but it has to be done!...Having been ready for Xmas for a good few months, decorations and all! When the big day arrived we were very excited!...Pete and I dress up as Santa all day and get in the Christmas spirit...I think the animals are used to it now, they think its normal....I was half tempted to fix some reindeer antlers onto the ponies to make them into reindeer's!....But thought better not?????

THE GREAT ESCAPE

Dixie decided it was high time the piglets had an adventure, and when we went to feed her, the pig sty was bear and panic set in....especially as all the piglets are on reserve for their new homes as much wanted pets!!!....So we walked up the meadow and thought they couldn't have gone far, Dixie loves it here.....And then we saw them, munching their way through the goat paddock, not a care in the world!...In fact they even looked up at me as if to say..."whats up!"...We called Dixie hoping that her babies would follow, and it kind of worked until a couple of the piglets got the wrong side of the gate when trying to get through it. So after several attempts we got them through and ran them back up to the safe warm pig sty where they should be!...Except one who dawdled and I had to pick her up and run to catch up the rest of them!....Dixie didn't seem to care at all that she had us all worried!
