These are a few of my favourite things #1

 

Lifestyle:

A seasonal flower arrangement

My kind Aunt sent our family some beautiful festive flowers. 

They stand lovely in the conservatory.

Eco-gift wrap & special design

I like to be eco-friendly but stylish with my wrapping. I had some spare 

recyclable craft paper, and made each gift unique using ribbon, toppers, etc.

A winter walk on the beach

The weathers been so rainy this Christmas but there’s been one or two days when 

the sun came out. There was a bit of frost, but lovely light on this trip to the beach.

Entertainment:

Spotify Music: Story of Me by Megan McKenna

I knew of Megan from celebrity X-Factor, but stumbled across her album on Spotify quite recently. Don’t judge her until you listen. Her music is a lovely a mix of country, and pop with meaningful lyrics. 

Films on TV: Christmas Date

‘After Brooke's boyfriend breaks up with her right before the holidays, she agrees to go 

home with an actor who poses as her boyfriend.’ I tend to watch a couple of channel five 

Christmas films each year; this was my favourite as I couldn’t stop laughing along. 

Festive Reads:

Calm Christmas by Beth Kempton

A beautiful little coffee table book, with atmospheric writing, 

and heartfelt thoughts on Christmas.

One Christmas Wish by Katherine Rundell

We follow a young boy with a special wish on Christmas Eve. 

Loved the magical realism and stunning illustrations.

Cardboard Creatures by Claude Jeantet

A non-fiction read I lent from the library. Really innovative

 ways to recycle cardboard, for Christmas and beyond.

Internet:

I appreciated reading this post on having a sustainable Christmas. There were some great ideas!

YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/AmberBurns

Amber has a lovely YT channel. I’ve been enjoying her down to earth, 

conversational videos. She does vlogs, bookish content and more.
