Country Living Christmas Fair

This week sees the beginning of the Country Living Magazine Christmas Fair at the SECC in Glasgow.

It is the biggest Fair that we attend and is an exciting week out.  This year - in a vain attempt to cut down the work involved - I am on a tiny stand just by "Breeze House" (whatever that is!)

Twice a day I am also going to be hosting workshops making heart shaped wreaths from dogwood.  The numbers are limited to 15 in each workshop and I think it is a first come first served kind of thing.  There are other workshops run by Jane Means, Austin Roses and Jan Constantine.

It is all a bit daunting - not least working out how I am going to transport the 2,400 stems of dogwood sitting in the drive.

I am alo providing "flowers" for the Country Living Pavilion - basically the area where the magazine staff meet and greet, show off the Country living Collection and sell subscriptions.  I am limiting myself to what is in the garden here, rather than rushing off to the flower wholesalers, as I think that is much more what Country Living is meant to be about.  Seemed like a good idea at the time.

There we go - another daunting thing!  Must dash;

If anyone is visiting please come and say "Hi"

I wish I could drop by!! I'm a bit jealous, Christmassy things seem so much more Christmassy when it's winter. Here it is all spring and sunshiney (not that I'm complaining) but I'm just loving your pics of the robin and the holly and all!

Jane, what an amazing lady you are! Best wishes for the Fair, and for transporting all those branches.

When did the magazine country living first start being published in england?

When people talk about the cost of housing, often the only thing people talk about is the actual cost of the home they intend to buy. And often, one thing that many people note when they buy a home in one of the distant suburbs is that they can "get more home for the money" in a distant suburb vs living closer in.

What people don't usually count in the cost of owning a home is the higher transportation costs that are incurred when people live further away from jobs and entertainment options.
