choosing our christmas tree

Yogi & GranJan’s lovely neighbour Jo came to wish them well on their travels and gave Poppy her Christmas present… a lovely Beatrix Potter book. Thanks Jo!

tomatoes
GranJan helped Poppy plant two cocktail tomato plants in the garden to watch them grow and to eat tomatoes all summer! Poppy has been watering them every morning (unless it rains at night!).
