This is lovely! Your Jenny Colgan recommendation came at the perfect time. I was looking for something new and christmas-y to read. Also… picky bits sound amazing.

Oh, it's a great read. I'm a big fan of Jenny Colgan's writing - she always seems to strike the right note

I’m not going to chain on a crochet project for Christmas Eve as I’m hosting family but will definitely take a new project with me to visit grandgirls in Canada over the holiday

Where the mince pies? I missed it? Mincemeat pies is my favorite thing about Christmas

Absolutely, just the smell of it says Christmas like nothing else.

No Christmas eve cast on for me but I did start a birthday cast on yesterday that certainly won't be done by Christmas eve!

I love the term 'picky bits', we reserve it mostly for the fancy things you buy from M&S as a treat!

As soon as I saw the new Pantone colour I thought of Angel Delight! I recently bought a book to re-teach myself how to knit, I would love to be able to knit a triangular scarf but one step at a time, I need to remind myself how to even cast in (I haven’t knitted since childhood). Thank you for a lovely post, and also for the reminder to slow down and make time for special moments xxx

It's a delicious colour isn't it. And yay to returning to knitting. There's nothing like it for slowing down and centering yourself after a stressful day. If I can be off any help on the knitty front do let me know 🧡

Thank you for the mention Louise ❤️ I definitely need to have a day to myself in the next few weeks, I love the idea of cheesy films and all the food love ✨✨

It felt really indulgent - which was probably a sign that I really needed it

Butterscotch Angel Delight was my favourite flavour! Weirdly I’ve been thinking about it recently, I want to make a bowl but also fear it’ll be hugely disappointing 😋

I made the chocolate one a while ago as a nostalgic pudding and I really enjoyed it. Husband's favourite was butterscotch though so I'll have to look out for a packet

Love the socks, but also love that board on which you served cookie and tea ;)
