Getting there slowly



Sweet orange pastry for the mince pies -
Josceline Dimblebey's recipe every year.


Red cabbage and apple with sausages and mash.


Winter walks of course
even if we nearly forget to get out in time.







A winter surprise.
But it has been very warm.








Advent windows,
(one of them mine).


The tree at last despite a hissy fit with the lights.


A shining light on these darkling days.

  1. Gorgeous post. I did wonder if we were having a syncronized hissy fit re Christmas lights (without knowing it). Mine drove me (almost mad). I could cope with that but not the unhelpful suggestions from behind the newspapers...........................

    Your little grandchild looks absolutely beautiful Lucille. Happy Christmas.

  3. I love the advent windows. I don't recall ever seeing one of these in a Sydney house. We tend to favour crass displays of blinking lights on the roof and fences, with more=better being the main philosophy

  6. Merry Christmas, (as we say over here), Lucille! I've certainly enjoyed getting to *know* you through your beautiful words and pictures.

  7. That first picture--!!!!!

    We ordered and read Holly and Ivy for the first time ever this year. It has prompted Annie to ask for her own "Holly" for Christmas. I wonder what tomorrow morning will bring....

    Merry Christmas!
