It seems that everyone is suddenly talking about Christmas, but I am going one step further and mentioning that this week I pre-ordered my 2026 Lucy Almey Bird wall calendar.
I just could not run the risk of them selling out, and I have loved having this years version hung up next to my chair and matching in with the prints that I have on my wall.
Buying direct from her website made the calendar a lot cheaper than some of the others that I was looking at in the garden centre last week too, so I was doubly pleased. It did also tempt me into looking at all her lovely greetings cards, there are a lot and they are beautiful. But I resisted ... for now!!
No Christmas talk from me for a while though, although I do understand why some people have started mentioning it and of course the shops have also started stocking it.

Lovely details in the painting by Lucy Almey Bird. I ordered some cards and the jigsaw puzzle of the bookshop for DD a few weeks ago. It was sold out early last year. I do like the railway carriage painting, DH and I had our picnic and flask of tea on the Severn Valley Railway last Saturday.
ReplyDeleteThey are glorious pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was responsible for choosing the Christmas school music productions, Christmas started in August for me, researching and planning. Now it can start as early or as late as I like.
Thank you for the reminder to get a new calendar! I usually try to get a calendar that has a big space in which to write my appointments, etc.
