Christmas has finally arrived at the Parsonage with the purchase, erection and decoration of this year's tree. I like to leave it until the last minute, but this year I almost left it too late. The usual Nursery I go to had sold out, and the large Garden Centre near Norwich had just two left, and I paid double what I usually do, although it is a nice shape and the right size for my low ceilings.
It's a lot less cold tonight here in the north-eastern Suffolk borders, probably because we have a lot of cloud cover. Much of the snow around the roads has gone, though packed ice is still a problem in the shaded parts of the lanes.
But with snow on the ground, and the possibility of wintry showers forecast for tomorrow, it will be a White Christmas, and even if it doesn't snow on the actual day, it will still be seasonal to sit and look out at from my lounge in front of a burning fire.
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful ... etc.
Quite lovely!
ReplyDeleteDelightful! Have you put up your outside lights this year?
ReplyDeleteSanta's sleigh (empty) adorns the front of the house as usual. Santa is climbing the drainpipe at the front right corner. Lights are in the holly tree. My electricity bill has also gone up!
ReplyDeleteVery picturesque!
ReplyDeleteAh, Sir, how nice to see you, especially during your holidays.
