What did you get for Christmas? I have a lovely pair of black suede gloves, a candle made from a cardboard tube from our oldest great-granddaughter (aged 2!), and a box of Ferrero Rocher, as well as one of Crabtree and Evelyn goodies - hand cream etc, a CD of 'Il Divo' and books. I can't think what else at the moment. No gardening vouchers this year, though.  |

You received a lovely selection of presents Geranium  I was lucky too, also received Evelyn & Crabtree 'Gardeners Hand Therapy' cream, lovely silk scarf, gift voucher for a 'pamper' session(!), garden gift vouchers and some rather 'snazzy' PJ's (chosen by my 17 year old granddaughter  ). |

No bags of potting compost again this year. So will have to go get my own with the Garden Gift Tokens I received.  |

Got garden vouchers & cheese & wine from our lovely neighbour, bottle of wine & chocs. from half brother & book, chocs./sweets & clothes from husband - some of the clothes were a size too big- not a problem I'm just eating all the chocs. to fill them up! One of the gifts was marzipan sprouts! They look great & fortunately taste of almonds!  |

This was the book- lots of photos of 'naughty' dogs with signs saying what they'd done wrong, very cute & funny!  |

Marzipan sprouts - lawks! They look great but I think I'd *almost* prefer to eat a real sprout... maybe... I didn't really get many gardening gifts this year either - a fun pair of purple polka dot light gloves, and a big double Amaryllis, which I'm really looking forward to growing as I haven't had a double before. My husband gave me a rather nice bracelet, it's cool as it's an old gold watch chain re-worked - bit unusual. So I shall try very hard not to lose it in the compost! Always a worry with any jewellery I wear! I must ask for Garden Gift Vouchers another year. Somehow it never occurred to me before - sounds brill. |

I'm not at all sure about marzipan sprouts either  - I'll pass on those and stick to Ferrero Rocher! I had a couple of novels too - so I shall settle down in front of the log burner and have a lovely peaceful relaxing afternoon if the weather's still horrible. I haven't listened to my 'Il Divo' CD yet, either.  |

SueA they look like real fun gifts. You always make me laugh. Very nice BessI got an anthology of Vita Sackville-West's writings and a generous Suttons gift voucher. I am quite excited about my DVD set of Young Montalbano. A monthy gardening magazine from Australia will start in January for a year. I got champagne and a huge box of Thorntons chocolates, wine, etc., but these are from the pilots and they have to keep on the right side of me.

I quite like sprouts, the real ones & the marzipan ones! Keep those pilots in line Cherry , they might start plying you with jewellery next! |

SueA the pilots are pretty good actually. I think I told you that one of them gave us a big barbeque to leave in the hangar.
