The York Wheel

... is only around for another monrh or so, so it was time to try it out yesterday.

 wonderful and plenty of time to enjoy it on our 4 revolutions. Then time for hot chocolate.

Advent!

It started with this..

 

and then all of these..


 

Can one have too many advent calendars? I don't think so.

Then it was a lovely sunny but freezing day, perfect for a country walk, with most of the churned up mud frozen beneath our boots and considerably safer than the black ice on the pavements.

And while we were out it made sense to collect some foliage for a Christmas wreath or two.

 

 And while Kitty an Mr B were creating wreaths to the background of Kings College Cambridge singing carols..

 

.... the Mancub and I felt compelled to go and buy a Christmas tree. And there's no point having a tree and not decorating it....


 ..adding some touches to remind one of Christmases past.





And while you're at it you might as well get started on creating mince pies and gingerbread (no photos but very yummy!)

Ahh, I love Christmas.
