Simply..minimal....

The house lurches at this time of year from minimal to maximal! I absolutely love this look but it only lasted an hour or so as I fixed the mirror to the wall (it has rested against the wall for a long, long time)...

As I prepare for visitors and Hogmanay it now holds a pannetone, wine, raspberry liqueur, bread, biscuits, lettuce, cheese, garlic and herbs,, candles, matches, candlesticks, tea towels, a grater and a lemon squeezer.

Are you ready for 2023?

Maybe my word for 2023 could be minimal.

Oh I wish I was attending your celebration! It sounds so delicious. I had to look up the word Hogmanay as I had never heard it that I recall. Or maybe I look the word up each year?😂. Your buffet area is wonderful. We have been very sick thru December so are simply looking forward to better health in the New Year. Happy New Year to all of you.

I am so sorry to hear that you have been ill. Wishing you good health all of this year.

We had Scottish salmon for dinner, it was delicious!

Thank you! I do think that positive should be a keyword for 2023

New year greetings to all. Love that empty table top. I'm in the middle of an online buddhist retreat and landed on my word this morning.......healing.

Happy new year Freda and to all of your readers. I love reading and looking at the beautiful photos in your blog. I will turn 60 in February. I’ve decided instead of a big party, I’m going to spend ( and fund) a day with each of my close friends and family doing something we will both enjoy. I’m already enjoying the process of deciding what that day will involve for each encounter. Those I’ve told are equally excited. Feeling more than ready for 2023!

Freda, with the beginning of the New Year would you ask again for all of your Blog Followers to state where they are from? Happy New Year.
