Frugal but fabulous, was the theme for our festive bash for my wonderful ladies group ‘View from the Hills‘.  Secret santas of home-made gifts, gave a novel spin to our evening, Blue Peter and double sided tape, I knew were the first thoughts many of the ladies had, but they’re a crafty & talented group and each of us was rewarded by a  beautiful gift thoughtfully created.

Jams, chutneys, dried chilli hangings, terracotta tree ornaments , melting moments, candles to name a few.

Roaring log fire, merry music and delicious delights, along with mirthful mulled wine to die for, were shared in the wonderful atmosphere of Casa Cuscurro .

Chat of past adventures and plans for our New Year escapades and events flowed , why not join us next time ?
