Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 24/01/2025I've been sorting my seed packets out today. As usual whenever I do this I get help from my little friend Holly. Although I'm not sure that help is the right word. 030

Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Holly cat has been to the vet for her health check. She was very good. The vet cut out some of her matted fur so she has a bald patch now.😿 030
Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 05/01/2025The Christmas tree has been cut up and is in bin bags now. It will be put through the garden shredder and the shreddings used to mulch the blueberries at the allotment. The trunk can be used as a plant support. 040
Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Our church was in candlelight for the carol service last night. My daughter and I enjoyed singing the carols, it was a lovely start to Christmas 030
Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 22/12/2024It's our church carol service this evening. Before that I will be putting marzipan on the Christmas cake and making mince pies. 🍰🎄 010
Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Morning! It's so dark outside. Having my early morning cup of tea and watching Holly the cat play with her toy mouse. 120
Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Today was a baking day. I've made ginger cake and shortbread. That's the third lot of shortbread I've made in the last few weeks. Two lots for other people, this is for us. 😋 020
Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Morning everyone. Just had first cup of tea of the day. It's dark outside. Had a restless night. 120
Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Morning, everyone. It's raining here. It's Christmas jumper day at church this morning so should be quite colourful. 000
Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Just made courgette soup. Later I'll be decorating the Christmas tree. It's been in it's corner for two days now with just lights on. 020
Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Made my wreaths last week, now the storm has gone I've put them out, front and side of house. 040
Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Our day at #LythamHall was wonderful. 'A Dickens of a Christmas '. The rooms all represented different Dickens books. I don't think I've ever seen so many Christmas trees in one place. 021
Margaret @maogden.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Good morning! Hoping for a dry day. I'm going out with my daughter today to Lytham Hall #Lancashire to see it all done up for Christmas. 150
