    hi Marion! i love this beautiful cake! it is simply elegant. i love the contrast of the white snow frosting with the green of the rosemary and red and blue of the fruit. it looks so special on that lovely plate. your inspiration to use the rosemary to make a Christmas tree was so clever and creative. i know that cake is going to be delicious shared with your family. thank you so much for the good reminder to use what you do have. i've so enjoyed watching your Advent Diary series. can't believe there are only a few entries left for this year. Thank you Marion! linda from california

    My grandma used to say, "A day is what you make of it." Wise words because I never know what day of the week it is anymore. I am always losing days, but as long as I don't lose my marbles I'll be fine. 😅 You make my days lovely with always something interesting to share, so if you said the sky was green, that chickens had lips, and footballs had feathers, I would laugh and have a merrier day because of it. It matters not in the least if you mistook the day. "It makes no nevermind", as my grandma also used to say. She was a very practical and pragmatic person and lived to 94, loving folks and just being herself. She's been gone for 21 years but I miss her everyday. ...Having said all that, what a delighfully delicious looking cake. Lucky are they who find themselves seated at your festal board. Thank you dear Marion for sharing such loveliness. Know this, that the world is a better place, just because you're in it. 😊❤ p.s. That milkmaid was absolutely darling!

    Well I didn’t even notice you said Wednesday 😄😄 I was so pleased when you turned your camera around to show the mess you’d made after decorating the tree. That is just how my room looks when I’ve finished the tree. The cake decorations are so imaginative yet simple and pretty. I think you must of watched a lot of Blue Peter back in day like me.
    Really enjoying your lovely friendly advent calendar days.

I love the way you have improvised the decoration you are such a talented lovely lady . I had plans to do Su much today but I’m absolutely shattered so I’m tucked up in bed with two hot water bottles listening and watching you .

    I didn’t even notice the day! I think it’s hard to stop your brain from thinking that you need to do as much preparation as you used to do in years gone by. My brain is all over the place, but I think the loss of a partner adds to the chaos and the daft mistakes I keep making. I can remember people saying they had baby brain, well I think we should also say widow’s brain. You’re doing an amazing job.

    Good morning Marion from NZ. I am a retiree too and I know where you are coming from. I still look at the clock to see what I have achieved in a day from the time I am up in the morning. I think it is a habit that a workaholic and an organized person has, really. It is OK with that but we don't want to beat ourselves if we don't or haven't achieved what's planned. We are allowed to start the day whenrever time suits and taking it easy. I even start my day with some slow stitching, sometimes, after making the beds etc. So, just relax and start your day positively without feeling a sense of guilt. I want to say that I have been enjoying all your very recent videos, though haven't posted comments as it is a very busy time of the year, the one with your daughter in Paris, the baking, chats especially the cake decorating as it is one one my passions too. The cake is beautifully decorated, Marion, I love it and you have an art to it, wonderful as always. In case I will get busy,( no doubt ), I'd like to wish you a very Merry Christmas Marion with God's blessings to you , daughter, sister and families. Thank you so much for sharing your journey in stitching, arts and many others and may 2025 be a blessed year for you. Blessings, Thelma ❤❤

    Marion your advent garland has been such an inspiration that I have decided in the New Year I am going to knit and sew little ornaments for an advent string . It is such a lovely idea. Over the years I have made Christmas tree decorations with quilting fabric and stuffed them , plus little quilted wall hanging. However never a banner string. So thankyou for that example you have strung across your sitting room. Have a very Merry Christmas from New Zealand .

    Love the tree decorating idea, so simple to do and it looks lovely. Every time you say “bonny “, it reminds me of my grandma who was born in County Durham but moved to Ashington, Northumberland, when she married. She died when I was about 10 (I’m 71 now) but still remember her very well as we went “up home” (as mam used to say) to visit her quite a lot. My mam would make quite a lot of the north country recipes (pease pudding being my absolute favourite growing up!). Loved your ginger cake recipe but couldn’t find any ginger preserve but I’ll keep an eye out when the Christmas madness has subsided!! Merry Christmas to you and thank you so much for all these videos!! 🥰

    What a cute Christmas cake! I think it's smashing to produce something so pretty with just a few bits from the garden and in only a couple minutes! I used to do sugarcraft and spent ages faffing about, not to mention the cost of all the latest palaver and through time learned that what family want most is good tasting cake that's pretty but not ott. Thanks for sharing this gem of an idea Marion. I'm going to send William down the garden for a bit of rosemary and there's berries in the fridge.
