Thanks @CherryBomb, i think i might have to go with the dip, it is a bit warm here 🙂 but the room looks great, with my SANE family, what more could i ask for.

@Former-Member, yes it is a tough time of year for me too, loss of a family member 14 years ago has made it almost a day i want to forget. i hope you have a quiet day on Christmas day.

wow Hydrangeas, i have just planted 8 of them, they are going bannana's, they are so green and lush.
