A good girl...?


I hope you all have had the loveliest of Christmases. Thank you for your Merry Christmas-wishes, for e-mails and even presents. I am so grateful for them all. You truly are the best.


We have had a lovely Christmas, just the three of us (Zara, the dog, being the third one). Delicious food and drink, lovely long walks in the woods (never mind the storms that have been howling most days) and just enjoying each others company.


We opened the presents on Christmas Eve (according to Norwegian tradition). Oh my, I do believe I have been a good girl this past year... so many lovely gifts!


Books, blue and white GreenGate china (I have had my eye on the little jug for ages!), Kusmi tea (thank you Marianne!) and some nice cotton yarn for new crochet projects, along with a crochet hook and home made pouch for keeping them all in.


But the biggest surprise was a new pair of original Muckboots. Just what a country girl needs. A good girl indeed...?

Sounds like you´ve been a good girl yes, I love my Muckboots, hope you´ll enjoy yours too! Loved the little greengate jug and I just returned from a weekend in Paris and now I think I missed something when I saw your tea...is it really that great? I think I must go back to Paris ;-)))) Have a wonderful evening :-)

OH, Mia....I am so jealous about those muckboots!!! I just need *something* that is waterproof (Extraordinarily warm weather and I stepped in a puddle on my walk, last night!) and has traction (I've slipped on the ice for the second year in a row) and has a titch of warmth (all rubber or 'breathable' just isn't working, these days =])....I'm a country girl, too! ;) I'm not complaining, though...just thinking that I ought to get around to it - or borrow my husband's wonderful pair! Alright, so, I am being silly and 'going on' about it but YOU know....it's important!

I love that pretty, pretty pitcher! and books.....sigh. It's fun to give but fun to get, too!

Best of all are the wonderful solstice walks and the time spent with friends - me, too!

Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year, Mia!xxoo
