Night night Blue Sky dreamers! See you on the other side! Sleep tight!

Good morning! Wishing you a wonderfully peaceful, happy day…apparently, this one’s Sunday!

I’m already at the absolutely-no-idea-of-what-day-of-the-week-it-is point of Twixmas! Suspect that I’m not alone here!

Good morning wintery early birds! Christmas may be over, but the celebrations continue at my place where, an amazing 29 years ago me & my husband had no idea just how absolutely lucky we were destined to be! Happy anniversary and biggest thanks Mr B!

Night night wintery friends! Stay cosy!

Woke late, this morning… today (& yesterday for that matter) won’t be about haute cuisine nor instagramable grub, but there will be family & friends & that’s what’ll make the day sparkle for me! A happy, kindly day to us all, whoever, whatever, wherever we are!

Have been messaging far-flung friends & family all day and using even more exclamation marks than ever!! If you can’t be joyful with your punctuation right now, then I don’t know when you can??!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE WHO LOVES WILDLIFE!

It’s cold, it’s dark, but it’s Christmas! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men [and the rest of us] actually became a thing? Happy, hope-filled Christmas to you!

25 Dec: Wishing you all a peaceful, joyful Christmas Day. May the simple beauty of the season, like these winter blooming Christmas Roses, bring light, hope and kindness into the days ahead. Thank you so much for being here, and a very Merry Christmas to you! 🎄✨

Good morning dear nearly-Christmas pals! Wishing you a merry and bright-but tranquil-day!

Woke later than usual; light seeping into the sky and birds singing snd I realised: it’s here, it’s finally here at last! A happy, healthy, hope-filled #WinterSolstice to you and yours!

I woke super-super-super early & glanced at the plane tree on the street outside my window illuminated by the streetlight & was struck by its beauty. Fell back to sleep, but my first thought on waking: ‘Trees are such friends to humanity & how lucky are we?’ Hug (or at least say hello) a tree today

Good morning dearest cool cats of the Friday before Christmas! Wishing you the best of all possible days!

Weather update

Up way, way too late to be an early bird after a night of unsettled sleep, so very lovely to wake up to daylight, a super reminder of what’s to come during this darkest of weeks! Wishing you a beautiful, hopeful day!

Good morning and welcome to today’s look…yes, I’m branching out with my midweek wardrobe!! A fabulous day to all!

Good morning beautiful early birds! Wishing us all a peaceful, harmonious day!

Good morning lovely midwinterers and a happy, peaceful and kindly new week to you!

6 Dec: Cross-leaved Heath, Erica tetralix, is the flower dedicated to St Nicholas, whose feast day is celebrated today. Through the compassion and generosity of his legendary miracles, he became known as the gift-bearer, bringing joy and hope to all at the year’s darkest time.

#LentoAdvent day 3's theme is 🎧 a quiet place 🎧 Where was the quietest place you went this year? Somewhere away from people or noise. Somewhere you could hear quiet. Not just outside but a library or quiet corner maybe? Please add alt text to your contributions so everyone can join in.

One for any students of 80s music/ politics: was downstairs pottering about when I suddenly heard my OH singing Stand Down Margaret to himself upstairs! So fondly proud of my man!
