November is drawing to a close, after a mild start to the winter, it is getting cold, cold.
Early morning leaf raking: and hours of fun in the huge pile of leaves. It is so cold now that no-one complains about hats and coats…and gloves…
And the best part! Hot tea and scones for the cold bodies who come in 
I’m working on a prototype for a teeny tiny doll… Grace made a “dress” and head gear, then arranged it all on a plate with pipeclearer decorations! I love when she does something so unusual and creative… very like her older brother Michael, when he was her age…
And so we move towards December; I love Advent: the countdown to Christmas, the warmth and cosiness. This is the season for hot chocolate and delicious baking; being squished on the sofa watching a movie; reading and stitching and lots and lots of cuddles!
You paint a beautiful picture, I want to just snuggle up on the couch by the fire after reading this. Enjoy the build up to Christmas, I prefer the build up more than the event itself!
Me too Elizabeth! I just LOVE the few weeks before!
Cant believe Christmas is so close!! Woohoo
beautiful pictures, everyone enjoying the outdoors xxx
I used to love those days too! And scones and hot chocolate were my speciality as well
oooohhhh must make some scones tomorrow. thanks for the reminder.
Gorgeous photos, Emily….says she whizzing past the Beatrix Potter plate before a child here sees it and wails for one of their own!
oh goodness, that adorable little fairy doll – you’re incredible.
