Sunday

Good morning to you all.  Yesterday was a truly horrible day, weather wise.  Cold, windy, wet and not a flake of snow to brighten things up.  My much needed walk didn't come off; there was no way I was going to brave that sort of weather.  Maybe today . . .

Never mind, it's lovely and bright inside, warm and cosy and very festive.  We now have the new Christmas tree up (I'm at my parents') and it's made a nice, bright corner that Mum enjoys looking at.

Today's advent pictures!


One of my brothers sent some flowers and they also look gorgeous.  The snowman certainly seems happy with them!


Today is more of the same really but fingers crossed that I can get some fresh air this afternoon.  I'd really like to walk to Bickerdikes to get a few bits and bobs for a hamper gift and to take another look at their decorations but we will see.

Have a lovely day and stay warm and happy.

    I think they do, Sooze, which is great. She was also happy with the fudge I took over. There's none left now!

    I'm not surprised you didn't fancy a walk yesterday - very very cold wind here then pouring rain. Today looks better - mind the puddles!

    The Christmas corner looks lovely!! We've got slushy snow and a cold wind so I think our dog walk will be a short one today xxx

    Your mum will enjoy the decorations. The weather is bright and sunny here today and no frost so must be a shade warmer. We are going for any last bits today - I bet it will be busy too. Have a lovely day. x

    That looks so lovely and great visual, and mental, stimulation for your Mum.

    Hope you get your walk in, lovely and sunny here now but I'm tied to the ironing board.....

    Today is much nicer, Sue, but you're right about the puddles. I shall wear my stout walking shoes, even if they look silly with my warm coat!

    Thanks for the comments, everyone. It's a cheering sight, especially when it's so dull and gloomy outside. It was sunny here but has clouded over a bit so fingers crossed.

    Hope the weather gets a little better! Mum said it wasn't very nice when we Skyped.

    What a lovely tree!
