Life// My Christmas// Owl vases and friends

This Christmas was really special for me. We had an amazing Christmas eve gathering with amazing people and lush food. Christmas day in my house was relaxed; ham and eggs cooked on the new barbecue, a lovely sit down lunch with my sister, Mum and step Dad and then a swim at a friends pool in the afternoon. I ate lovely mangos and crisp watermelon all day and felt very happy and lucky.We came home and watched a sad movie that made me weep and I slept like a baby.
