However, Edith Sitwell said "Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home". I love this quote and could not wish you, dear reader, anything more than this sweet feeling of contentment. It is my dream to feel it deep in my soul myself, here at home with my hubby and little Maggie.
Our gifts are wrapped, we have a carol concert to attend this evening and Mamma G is coming to spend Christmas dinner with us - the sloe gin has been an absolute triumph this year and the champagne is chilling in the fridge for 'jingle fizz' cocktails in the morning - hehehe. No matter my mood, we shall have a cosy home full of love and good food, may you have the same xxx

The holiday harvest was taken from the Allotment today...parsnips, leeks, kale (we don't do sprouts!) |

A heartfelt thank you to all who commented on my last post, we are healing, slowly x
With love

Thanks, and to you too. Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteHow interesting that you see the winter landscape as a skeleton - bare bones. I see the dormant trees and bare ground sleeping; resting before the big push to come. It is good and in tune with nature to sleep, rest and recoup your energy over winter. Have a peaceful xmas. Lynda xxxx
ReplyDeleteWishing you both a good Christmas. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for you loss and poor Andrew to lose his sister as such a young age. Too soon, too soon. I think this time of year is hard for us all. It's dark when I get up in the morning and dark when I come home from work and the only time I see my garden is on the weekend and then there's the rain. Take care, snuggle up with Maggie and Andrew and I hope the new year brings you both peace and joy!
ReplyDeleteI love the shapes of bare trees, It's dank conditions that I hate, Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a grey wet day, but tomorrow it's back to sunshine in the garden for me.
ReplyDeleteYour days are getting longer now, spring is coming.
That is the most wonderful quote. I prefer not to go out much, except for going to work, which I now do not have to do!! We are lucky our parents garden is right behind the house, but we did not succeed in growing sprouts or similar this year. I enjoy sitting at home looking into the garden and seeing the brown squirrels stealing food from the birdfeeders. I wish you all the best and lots of warm sunshine in your life in the New Year (and also the rest of this year, obviously:) )
