I hope you are getting as much rest as is possible and feel loads better by the time Christmas arrives.
Going back to the origins of this time of year...I have a Yule log with three holes drilled for taper candles and I’ll be adding spruce and seasonal foliage and marking the return of the light. Always seems mad in what is only the start of the winter but gradually the days do grow lighter and longer.
I’m a winter person though. I love the autumn and winter with the shorter days and predictable weather.
Hot water bottles, blankets, a cup of tea, a dog by my side and I’m happy.
You rest up the best you can. I’m sure the doggies are helping to look after you. xxx |

Ha ! yes more water less rain too.! all ok. got some big painkillers from GP and doing fine. I don't think anyone will outdo Gordon !
I am with you Emma , the days grow so much lighter after 21st each day and then its planning for seeds and spring ! I don't like the damp but love those cold blue sky days - if we had more of those the greyness of winter wouldn't seem so bad. I am recycling photos ! if santa can keep materialising in the same costume then I am recycling photos !
