I made several of these cute, heart shaped, Christmas Pudding decorations whilst I was staying in Canterbury. So simple to make. The idea came from pinterest but as usual I varied it to suit the materials I already had to hand.
I crocheted several of the friendship bracelets I had made last year. They are so popular with my little grandies, and their friends, that I had requests for more.
Another felt snowflake decoration with a bit of rather uneven embroidery due to the fact that I often stitch in the car.
One of the highlights of the Canterbury trip was our visit to the Cathedral and as I passed through the ancient gateway it amused me to see the pigeons hopping and fluttering around the statues whilst some of the little angels looked as if they were going to join them in flight.
The cathedral was well prepared for Christmas with huge trees, inside and outside, sparking with tiny lights, and a nativity scene with life sized figures. The atmosphere was set perfectly for the season with a background of beautiful Christmas music and carols.
St Michael's Chapel
The old fading standards hung from the beautiful mitred ceiling.
I loved this view of the old Weavers' House as I looked over a bridge in the city centre.

I haven't been to Canterbury since I was a little girl... loved seeing your photos, and how pretty it looks ready for Christmas! I know there is a tv programme soon about the girls choir which I'm really looking forward too.
Lovely post with beautiful photos, Jo. Your little puddings are delightful and I can see you've been really busy crocheting those fab bracelets. The cathedral is a stunning building - love the architecture. You clearly had a lovely time there. Thanks for sharing. Elizabeth xx
