Keeping Warm


 

Twelfth Night


 I took down all the Christmas decorations . 

Just as we are taking ours down ,I know that many of you out there in other parts of the world are just about to celebrate Christmas . I think on the 6th and 7th of January . Happy Christmas to you and your families .  


Look at my sweet little reindeer ! My Granddaughter made this for me at school . It was my favourite Christmas present this year . I will treasure him ! I love the decorative stitching around the edge . 

Such a precious and heartwarming gift !  I love him !


The weather at the moment is like this .  Hit and miss showers of sometimes rain , sometimes sleet , sometimes graupel , and sometimes but not for us yet, snow .

I know that children everywhere are hoping for a good lot of snow to play in 🌨️☃️❄️


However this is just not enough to make a snowball let alone a snowman !

                                     ❄️☃️🌨️❄️❄️❄️      

It is very cold though , especially in our cottage at the moment .

Our new boiler has broken down  , so the central heating and hot water is not coming on .


Making the best of things !  I've lit the fire , filled hot-water bottles and I'm wearing my hat and scarf .

In fact I went to bed with my wooly hat on ! 

Our central heating chap is on his way .

🌿Happy Christmas 🕊️🌿

 

                           Wishing you all a very Happy and Peaceful Christmas .


No frost but it is bitterly cold today . a biting cold wind !  A very chilly walk across the cliff fields this morning.

The Nativity scene in St Mellanus Church is beautiful this year , the Advent Wreath and flower arrangements . I forgot to take a picture of it ...maybe tomorrow .

Nothing going on in the garden .


The Aeonium in the porch is very slowly beginning to open it's pretty starry flowers .
 Oh ! the log baskets are empty !


I had to wrap up and go out and gather more kindling and logs for the fire and now that I have lit the fire I doubt if we'll go for our usual afternoon walk . 
It's dark now already anyway !
 

Gonna sit beside the fire and do some embroidery .

Hope you're having a lovely Christmas wherever you are .  love Debbie x
