Christmas Eve

Cards written and sent, mistletoe and greenery wreath up on the front door, mince pies made, gifts wrapped… and an enjoyable carriage ride on Saturday courtesy of Centaur shire horses, jogging in a stately and leisurely way round the Diana fountain in Bushy Park, as in photo in previous blog!
All that’s left is to wish everyone a very Happy and Peaceful Christmas and New Year… let’s hope it’s a good one, with more peace on earth, goodwill to all!
A bitter cold day today after yesterday’s news of 2025 having been the warmest on record. So to finish off the year some memories of colder winters from previous Decembers…Frost sun2 18.01.22Frost plots 18.01Frost bench grasses 18.01
