Winter Wonderland Cragside.

I spotted this lovely paper and card model in the window of a little gallery/shop in the village. It's lovely I think. Cragside, our local NT property is depicted at the top, with the iron bridge and the woods under and then our village below that.

Today my Christmas elf brought in our tree and I spent the afternoon dressing it. A wee glass of Crabbie's ginger wine is part of the tradition. It went down nicely as it has been bitterly cold today, with big Atlantic storms hitting the west coast.
