Five Sleeps until Christmas

Santa and the Fairy Doll

Well, it could be a challenging Christmas again this year with threats of further restrictions and potential lockdowns. But all is not lost. With all my Christmas events finished now, I am using this week to get baking. Mince pies have just come out of the oven and I’m making some snacks using chickpeas, honey, cinnamon and nutmeg and baked in the oven.

Tomorrow is the shortest day, which means days will begin to get longer. Spring (as my dad would have said) is just around the corner. The tree outside our house has buds. Another clue to the coming spring. It’s good to have something to look forward to.

Lockdown or not, there will be walks to take, and I will have more time again. But for now, let the carols continue and the lights blaze. May the magic of Christmas be with you.

Here are a few photos I’ve taken out and about. Whatever you are doing this Christmas, I wish you a very Happy Christmas and thank you for dropping by here this year. I hope to share more walks and places of interest in the coming year.

One thought on “Five Sleeps until Christmas”

  1. Hope you have some good Christmas and New Year walking experiences. I’ve two more tours to do and then I can put my feet up, although I might be back out there in between Boxing Day and New Year just doing it for myself. It’s rather like a drug 🙂
