we have already started making and wrapping chocolate for christmas. this will carry on into the last mad weeks of december, reaching a crescendo of frantic festive spirit. emily's baby is due on christmas day which makes the build up even more exciting!even stranger than wrapping christmas bars in september is thinking about eggs, chicks and bunnies. harvey nichols and avoca's seasonal buyers will be looking for easter ideas long before carol singing begins.
when i'm not at work, i have to remind myself to enjoy the season we're in. it's autumn and the sun has finally come out in the glen! seasons of mist and mellow fruitfulness - rosehips nearly ready in the hedgerows and homemade blackberry jam.

Oh you look totally organised and your post got past my no-mention-of-christmas-until-november radar. It's nice to know you will be ready for my splurge. Hope to visit Chocolat in Ennis to stock up ;-)
at home, i always attempt the 'no christmas carols until december' rule except 'fairytale of new york' which it has become traditional to sing from november 29th for some forgotten reason. i took some lovely photos of chocolat when i was there last month and deleted them from my new camera by mistake. ah well, a good excuse to visit again...
