2026
The years race by. We've had some sharp frost and I threw fleece over the citrus for a little protection.
We have also had a bit, and only a bit, of very welcome sunshine. I like it in the winter when the sun is low enough in the sky to shine into the house. I took all the decorations down on Twelfth Night and sunlight lit up the various ornaments and a good layer of dust!
All these little objects, a motley collection assembled over many years, are now back in the Christmas box under the stairs. Thank goodness for a house with plenty of cupboards!
The tree is back in the garden and the house has been given a good clean, so it is a fresh start to a New Year. How sad that the Christmas spirit doesn;t seem to have a chance in the world at large. Oh America, how low can you sink? Perhaps I should have kept my Christmas angels hanging.
We are all in need of angels.

We are, aren't we!
ReplyDeleteMy bedroom window looked nice with the stars I'd sellotaped on the panes, but now that they are back in the Christmas box, I know a session of window cleaning is in order... my only excuse is that we've had rain yesterday and today, and tomorrow it's my sister's birthday... and then it's Sunday and I want to rest... and then it's Monday and the working week starts...
