Counting on … day 1.209

6th November 2023

Christmas is now lurking round the corner. The Shops have finished with Halloween and whilst there is still Black Friday to go, that too can be tied into buying for Christmas. But how about ‘not buying’ for Christmas?

The autumnal leaves are turning into a wide range of colours from lime yellow to brassy red. I have been collecting some of them – ones that have a particularly attractive shape or colour – and  am flattening them between the pages of a heavy book. Next month, when it’s actually Christmas I will thread them together with thread to make garlands.
