Wardrobe smarts

Fri, Jan 09, 2009

Is 2009 the year you’re going to do things differently? Good for you. However experience has taught me that instead of trying to institute lots of changes it is better to make just one change, because you will then have a better chance of succeeding.

Wild & wonderful

“The North wind doth blow, And we shall have snow; And what will poor Robin do then, poor thing?” While you’re more likely to see a robin hopping about in bushes and low branches than hiding in the barn to keep himself warm, there’s no doubt that robins are more visible in winter than many other small birds: their red breasts are cheering beacons in these dull, gloomy days.

I have a feeling that they’re pictured on Christmas cards far less often than they used to be – happy penguins and jolly snowmen (or snowpersons, perhaps) seem to have taken over in terms of popularity – but they still make a strong appeal to our subconscious at this time of year. One of the many stories associated with the robin is that it got its red breast when it was burned by hot ash while fanning the fire to keep the baby Jesus warm.

Wild and Wonderful

Fri, Dec 19, 2008

One of the nicest things about Christmas is the whole process of festooning the house with winter greenery. Apart from the tree, whose scent is aromatically redolent of Christmas, there’s mistletoe (if you’re lucky enough to find any), the darkly gleaming leaves of the ivy, and the holly’s bright, jewel-like berries. Whether you’re artistic and nimble-fingered enough to wind holly and ivy into garlands and wreaths, or whether, like me, your usual approach is to balance holly twigs precariously on top of picture frames and door lintels, these plants can really add to the festive feel of a room.
