Snow, Songs and Foxes

Well December is here but alas no snow.... I must admit one of the reasons we got homesick in Australia last year was hearing about and seeing the pictures of the double whammy of snow that you got here in the UK.  We were very jealous!
I had a visitor in my garden last Wednesday, a beautiful fox.  I saw him right down at the bottom of the garden in the little wood that we have but then he disappeared and I thought he must have gone into the fields next to us but just as I was about to turn away from the window he appeared from behind the shed and proceeded to peer into the fish pond then sniffed underneath the bird table...how cheeky :)  Even though he is very handsome as you can see from the picture I now have to walk down to the wood banging a stick before I can let the cats out to play.
Www.lilyesque.com is ticking along nicely in the run up to Christmas, it was only a matter of time before word got around about how well priced my jewellery is, and there really is something there for all the ladies, young and a little older ;) so make sure you have a look at www.lilyesque.com .
Another reason to love this time of year is we can start promoting the Christmas Song that Colin and his friend Tony wrote in 2010.  Its a fantastic rock n roll style Christmas tune called "All I want is Christmas" by The Summats.  Its available on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/all-i-want-is-christmas-single/id402973211 .  This year I have promised the band that I will get it played on BBC Radio, so far I have sent it to Fearne Cotton, Chris Moyles, Chris Evans and Dermot O'Leary but not heard anything back from them.  If you do buy it and like it make sure you get in touch with your local radio station and tell them to play it.  It would be great to have a proper Christmas song at No 1 not an X Factor song AGAIN, although I do like the idea of the Military Wives song that will be released on 19th December, good luck to them as all the proceeds are going to charity.  Have you all done or at least started you Christmas shopping yet?  I have started mine but will have to carry on this weekend.  We are going to check out the Christmas Market at Canterbury on Saturday or Sunday so I will let you know how that turns out. 
We went to The Conningbrook in Kennington for a meal on Sunday evening which was very nice, they have a huge outdoor area that I am looking forward to going to in the summer.
Well happy shopping to you all and let me know what you think of the blog :)
