Our homemade wreath made by Alex with a little help from me.
We have a Scandinavian wreath on the front door with different coloured berries on but for the back door we have used our own holly.....plenty of
berries this year!
Hung on my newly painted Pigeon door.
Three good things:
1. A day at home to catch up, waiting for the Sky TV man who has still not arrived at 4pm.
2. All the B&Bers have gone home for Christmas!
3. Jack home from university tonight.
wow this is beautiful... that looks like a good holly .. not too many pricks on the leaves.. so lovely to have the holly berries at the right time of the year.. Ours 'berry' in June ( our winter).. I can remember making holly berries as a kid out of crepe paper...
@julzmaioro Thanks Julz......I didn't do much...the holly berries are on a non prickles variety. It has long sweeping branches & as you can see full of berries. We do have lots of berries on many shrubs & hedges this year.....sign of a hard winter to come perhaps!
@maggiemae ha ha ....pigeon is the colour maggiemae. A namee thought up by the company calle Farrow & Ball, a poncy firm that does posh paint & wallpaper.
@777margo ah well we do have proper winters here Margo so we have to have something to keep us going in the cold........you won't be thinking about holly when you can go to the beach!
She's done a really lovely job. We have lots of holly but never any berries apart from on next door's (which overhangs!) which always get eaten by birds before Christmas. So - I bought a nice one off the market to go on the new shed - I was promised it was weather proof but when it rained hard the other nice half the greenery somehow dissolved and he berries and cherries exploded! £16 as well!! I need Alex!
@judithg she will come down tomorrow.........I think she enjoyed doing it. I have to go & pick her up from the friends later, it's like having your children young again & living at home!!
What a beautiful Holly Wreath so beautifully put together . you have gorgeous berries on that smooth leaved holly and a contrast in texture to the pine twigs in between ! Love the pov with Alex's arm hanging the Wreath , Gorgeous -- A fav
Beautiful wreath Pat. Perhaps we could swap some of your plentiful holly berries for the abundance of mistletoe we have here:-) This is a great POV and what's a Pigeon door? This looks a bit low for a pigeon loft!!

Should have added your names to the above as it answers & thanks you all for your lovely comments.
I am just hoping our wreath survives the windy weather tonight!
