On the left is an old Chianti wine bottle, which she stripped of its labels and put some 'spangly' lights inside. Looks quite effective I think!:)

Everything there, apart from the lights, was from bits just lying in our garden. and she also made the pompoms. Makes the kitchen look nice and cosy and Christmassy!:christmas:

Love it!!

Also it reminds me, I have three elegant bottles that need some of those spangly lights. Must go shopping...

Cheers, Adam. You're the only one with taste here, as no bugger else commented!:ner:;)

Yeah, if you want I can ask Del where she got the lights from?:)

They look great Marco, so much nicer than 99% of the crap you would pay through the nose for down the shops.

And I can see that Del got her inspiration for the pom poms from the BBC's computer graphics of the Coronavirus. Very topical! :)

Cool display - is that an old penny; any particular significance? (ready for throwing at a passing ragamuffin as payment for a turkey perhaps :D)

I am also interested in source of those "bottle lights"

:D:lolsign:

Love it! I think the inspiration came from something she seen in one of her favourite TV programmes at this time of year: https://www.channel4.com/programmes/...made-christmas

But yes, you're right much better than some of the crap you get in the shops, but most importantly for Del (as she's a major greeny), it's all made from stuff we had, recyclable and environmentally friendly:)

Lol... I found the old penny in the garden and cleaned it up. We treat it as a lucky charm:)

I'll ask Del where she got the lights from.

Marco.

Mrs B also bought some of these lights with the bottle stopper, they're USB rechargeable and we repurposed some unusual gin bottles as lamps.

She just got those ones from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But there are loads of different companies who sell them:)

Marco.

:cool:

Cool...:)

Got a nice day ahead - now that we're allowed back into England, I'm taking my dad out for lunch to one of our favourite pubs, where we'll be able to enjoy a nice pint of real ale before the Welsh alcohol ban is put in place later!

Highly recommended for anyone coming to the city: https://www.telfordswarehousechester.com/

Then off to Tanners, to collect a case of this year's Beaujolais Nouveau, plus what other nice bits we fancy: https://www.google.com/maps/uv?pb=!1...oiowCnoECBcQAw

Looking forward to it, as we haven't been to Chester in ages!:cool:
