Life is rarely simple. I decided I would try to post each day through Advent but this morning I couldn't upload photographs from my iPad to my laptop but I persevered!
I've had this stable for at least twenty years. Each year I get it out and it brings a smile to my face. Each year I put it away and usually I put the figures away in some sort of order. It would appear that last year I had some sort of brainstorm and I cupboarded them in random fashion.
Yesterday looked normal. A cow took up residence in the stable. Today however, we have a fancy chap bustling around with a camel and palm tree in the background.
And if you were wondering why the white blob is in front of it I will tell you. It's a chocolate. I was given a box last week and rather than risk downing the lot in one go, I've put one for each day. I have become a Big Kid once again. Today's choccie is no more.
I love it when you post a picture of your stable each Christmas! Having spent so many years being tuber-busy during Advent, with all the school church Xmas events we were involved in, I'm loving the less frenetic pace of advent in retirement.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a joy to enjoy Advent!
DeleteI so enjoy seeing your stable every Advent. Enjoy your one a day choccie.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Don't worry - I will!
DeleteWell done on being good with the choccies! I bought my husband a chocolate Advent calendar but I am having my cardboard Christmas tree forest I made a few years ago plus my Dad's vintage Enid Blyton story calendar!x
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of home-made, and I am envious of the vintage jobby.
DeleteI, too, enjoy seeing your stable being set up and reading about who is visiting each day (although, I am a bit behind with my reading, this year).
ReplyDeleteGood to see you!
