  2. Both gifts are delightful. Last spring I had alliums popping up everywhere...even in places I didn't plant them. I suspect the squirrels were raiding neighbours' gardens and generously giving them to me.

    What wonderful gifts! We have A Child's Christmas In Wales on an album that was a Christmas gift to DH decades ago. It is read by Dylan Thomas himself.
    The metal alliums are a delight!

    Hugs!

  16. A radio programme here plays Dylan Thomas reading "A Child's Christmas in Wales" on the last Sunday morning before Christmas every year. I never get tired of it. Both gifts are wonderful.
