I was away for most of December seeing friends and family “down south” (which, geographically, is quite a large area from Galloway, but in this case refers to “south of Birmingham”) so only a handful of shots of housey stuff. And, actually, I managed to forget to take any photos in December – but these are “representative of what actually happened in December”. As it were.

Inspired by the many homes in the South I saw on my travels, I decided to throw caution to the wind and start getting some of my lovely cards, posters and memories up on the wall of my office

I’m not particularly a Christmassy person, but with a pile of holly in the house, and some Christmas bunting given by Chris’ Mum, it seemed appropriate to give the hallway pictures “holly antlers”. What else would I use it for?
