Wishing for the light

Now don't get me wrong, I loves me some autumn and winter but my soul is desperate for bright, brilliant, awe inspiring sunshine. We wake up and it's dark, we go to bed and it's dark.. Dark, dark, dark like a seemingly endless night.

I'm turning as many lights on as I can; wall lights, ceiling lights, table lamps, fairy lights and let's not forget some beautiful candlelight. All in the vain hopes that some of it might permeate through my dull eyes. They say that the eyes are the doorway to the soul - that's perhaps why I keep holding my head skyward and squinting as hard as I can to find the ever illusive sun.

I shouldn't be moaning, life is good - beautiful children, happy home, awesome husband, crocheting to be done, lovely foods to be cooked and eaten to celebrate this Christmas... See, I've stopped moaning - taken stock of the goodness and moved on.

Cool Yule

Sly and the puppy wish you all a very Cool Yule!

You know those dark nights I mentioned - well they are heralding the festive season in at a gallop! Every time I venture out into the cold, dank air of December, I am greeted by the twinkling of Christmas trees in the windows of the houses I pass. These windows that used to feel like soulless openings into dreary boxes have been transformed into scenery reminiscent of bygone eras, Dickensian London by gas light? Or should that be more like "The Muppet's Christmas Carol"

Either way, it's lovely and cheery and makes folk smile.

This is our mini tree and yes I know it's pink. Very pink....

More fairy lights anyone?? Oh go on then, you've twisted my arm...
