Hello all! I'm here to wish you all a very merry Christmas. I'd hoped to have a little festive tag ready just for today, but time ran away from me... So, instead, here's some music - my favourite carol, In the Bleak Midwinter (Harold Darke's setting of Christina Rossetti's words) - and some warm candlelight (from my recent snowy triptych) to give light to the cold winter.
And my dapper vintage snowman joins me in wishing you all a peaceful and joyous festive season.
I'll be sharing gifts and feasting with close family, but for me it's also a time for hibernating with music, candlelight,
and some good books to read, sitting by the glowing Christmas tree.
I am planning some crafting and blog-visiting time between now and New Year's,
so I'll hope to be seeing you before we get to wishing one another a happy 2020!
For now, stay warm, stay safe, celebrate and enjoy yourselves in whatever way seems to you best.
Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.

Winter is not a season, it's a celebration.

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.
