    We see so many unpleasant things every day but just to watch you and your enthusiasm for the simple things , it’s just so nice to sit back and enjoy the pleasant things in life.

    I just found your channel and, must say, I’m having the most wonderful time. ❤ The decorations are amazing. One doesn’t have to spend a fortune to make something nice. Also, you are authentic and don’t shy away from the ‘sticky bits’ of life. I’m so glad your dad is still around to share your holidays. I lost my mother last year after a short illness and wouldn’t trade our last Christmas for all the gold in the world. I dropped everything to make sure the last of our precious was just that, precious. Screw the list should be embroidered on a pillow! Thanks for sharing! ❤

    So happy to hear your father is doing well and fully recovered. What a miracle! Such a quaint deli you have. I love the men's group at the table. The tea shops are something out of a Lifetime Christmas movie. I want to be there. Winkworth Arboretum landscape looks amazing and so serene. Reminds me of parts of New England in the States where I live. So picturesque. Brilliant idea with the mini wreaths .You are pretty clever. Not sure if you meant to to do it, but I chuckled when the music got a bit softer when you entered the square to the library LOL. Can't wait for the December emails. Thank you for all you do. I feel like we could be fast friends. I hope your family has a fantastic week.

    Picture of the queen is my favourite - Royals are important. I live on my own and finance myself and Christmas is about the tree - a real one and sending cards and the turkey dinner but most of all about having my daughters and grandchildren hopefully with me over the period. I like to be in my own home as i had to go to my sister's for ten years and my parents before that so it is precious to have my own Christmas now. Presents are mainly for the children not the adults.

    I think if you are going to have log fires you should hang the hope higher to take your eye up to the shelf. Some greenery is what I collect - fir, holly and ivy for tradition. I make a sprig for my front door with ribbon and lights at night mix of fake and real tea lights. The tree is the masterpiece and then when Christmas is over I call it Spring and bring in bulbs and my Amaryllis. New start and new growth.

    It is about having fun where you can and not let people pull you down as I find a lot of negativity in places. For me it is about trying to help my community and I do litter picks and loving my surroundings and not taking on too much. Keeping well and trying to enjoy life but there is still the washing, ironing, housework, house and car maintenance and food shopping and school runs to help out but trying to see the fun in things.

    I just came upon your channel today and this video is simply wonderful. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm. May I ask about the cut cedar pieces for your garland. Did you cut the newer growth or from the bottom of the tree? I have plenty of cedar trees on my property but I'm always hesistant on where to cut so I don't cut at all - lol! Thank you.

    • @CherryMenlove
      @CherryMenlove  2 дні тому

      Of course! There are so many cedar around and about that I took a few branches from each of them and had four bags full. I took a couple from the bottom and a few more but evenly distributed. Bottom ones don’t grow back so I careful only to trim and not entirely remove. I hope that helps. Cx
