Simply..moving along....

..gently towards a quiet Christmas.  I am enjoying the things that can be the same as usual, that can be 'normal'. (I always feel I have to put that word in inverted commas now!)

I can still enjoy selecting, writing sending and receiving Christmas cards. I love Christmas cards! I can bring out the Christmas box from the eaves cupboard and select my favourite ornaments. I can put the triangle lights in every window of the house to shine out into the darkness. Burning the orange and cinnamon scented candle, and bringing in pine branches....

The present list is coming along.

I bought three of these tiny and perfect poinsettias with my supermarket shop - they are about 6 inches high.


Picture
I'm thinking of having a wildlife Christmas, mainly because it will have nothing to do with Covid, and if I can tame my rather shy robin by Christmas day that would be the perfect present.

Tip one - buy a supply of mealworms, online or from a pet shop. Live ones are irresistable to a robin - they respond to the movement instinctively, but dried ones are proving attractive to this robin.

Tip two - put some out in the same place around the same time every day..


Over at Cornflower Books Karen has found a great little series of short films about art in a most beautiful house which  you might enjoy....See here.


Tomorrow - a confession. It's not all sweetness and light here!

Thank you so much for that link, I’m looking forward to that. I enjoyed Fake or Fortune did you?
I hope your computer woes didn’t require an expensive fix or too much head banging.

Really like that programme Lucille. New cimputer, loss of data, much angst - but got there!

Dorothy Wordsworth’s tame robin once flew in her open sash window when she’d been unwell and brought a worm to her pillow to make her better....
