On the sofa is helper Bok.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
This is a a beautiful Christmas card Cro!
ReplyDeleteI love the tree...and Bok!
Greetings Maria x
I had to cut the top off, it was too tall.
DeleteNow that is a Christmas tree and everyone needs a Christmas dog. Bok looks very comfy on his Christmas couch.
ReplyDeleteHe was helping, at least I think he was.
DeleteMy guess is bok was the on site supervisor.
DeleteYay! Beautiful tree!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit rowdy.
DeleteI like rowdy trees! That red sofa sets it off nicely. And Bok is too cute for words.
DeleteThat's a great Christmassy scene.
ReplyDeleteWe're getting there.
DeleteNow I can say 'a very Merry Christmas to you and your household'. A mighty tree, a one and only, perfectly finished with Monty Bear up the top there blessing you all.
ReplyDeleteWe had a family 'xmas sweet making day'. Pity I can't send you a kilo or two!
We're feeling very festive now. We were out last night to a nice party, and that seems to have started our fun.
DeleteBok looks exhausted after his supervision - it's hard work being a dog.
ReplyDeleteIt's a hard life. He's sleeping now.
DeleteThat looks very nice Cro. Very traditional. Where's Freddie?
ReplyDeleteNo idea; he never tells us.
DeleteThe tree is wonderful and Bok is the perfect decoration.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
He was a great help.
DeleteLike all people of taste we have done our Christmas decks today and not on Dec 1st
ReplyDeleteJohn, it fits in with the 12 days of Christmas; no need for more.
DeleteCan't wait till Christmas this year! My son is coming(been a long time) and bringing his new puppy! She is a 4 month old cattle dog that is a rescue with huge ears. Since she looks like a kangaroo he named her "Roo". Our 11 year old blind multi-poo will have to adapt. Sorry, too much info. I'm just so excited...Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to it too.
