To all a very Happy Christmas,
may your day be merry and bright.
Who am I?
I am a floral designer living in a tiny condo in downtown Toronto, Canada's largest city. But on the weekend, I am a gardener/frustrated architect trying to keep up with a 3/4 acre garden in Owen Sound, Ontario, a warm (to Canadians, Zone 5b, and a cold (to Americans, Zone 4b) garden.

This year we’re in with a good chance (50/50) of a white Christmas here in Denmark… A rare treat; in the 20th century it happened a total of 7 times, so statistically speaking it’s not terribly common for us.
But snow or no snow; what matters most to me is good company, good food and good cheer. I could easily dispense with presents, snow and Christmas music, if only the three former requirements are met.
I hope they will be for you and yours this Christmas, and that you will enjoy some lovely days together.

wet, wet, and warm here in London – but cold compared to Barbados. All good wishes for Christmas and New Year

Thank you! Your photo is beautiful. Deborah, I still remember that you were my very first blogging buddy, the first to fave my new blog on blotanical, over three years ago. I wish you and your family the very best Christmas, and may you prosper in 2013!

Deborah:
Another year comes to an end, but this year for me holds many wonderful memories. Fondest was the opportunity to meet and travel to Lost Horizons with you. Seems like yesterday we were both new to the blogging world, and now we have gathered a wonderful group of like minded friends. Wishing you and Ian the happiest of holiday seasons and the very best for 2013!
