Christmas in a Box…..

No…I am not looking forward in anticipation to Christmas to come… but still enjoying Christmas 2015….

And it is all thanks to this small, simple but thoughtful Christmas Gift.

A printed cardboard box containing some dried compost and a bulb.

So here we are 15th February some 7 weeks since Christmas, having added water and buried the bulb and now enjoying the colourful beauty…..but above all the scent, of a lone Hyacinth.

Just proves that the simplest of gifts can be one of the most pleasing.

15th February
