Have a very Merry Christmas.
I have a friend who has a stone fruit orchard in Batlow, NSW and I love getting her Christmas cards with the girls in their summer dresses while we are snowed in.

thanks michelle!
we had a very pleasant warm day here today, which was LOVELY!!
instead of the BOILING HOT days we’ve had lately.
that weather puts everyone off their food….
i’ve spent many a christmas at the beach. it’s what we do here!
a christmas with snow and cold seems so….foreign and exotic!
o and if iw asn’t a soapmaker, i’d LOVE a stone fruit orchard. if it is fruit and it has a stone, then i am in love with it.
i hope you have a lovely christmas.
