Day Twenty One: A Day in the Life of Orlando

Picture One: A much less scary version of...

Picture Two: ... The Tinderbox Dog

Picture Three: Orlando letting us know he is ready for his walk

Picture Four: A candle in the hearth rather than a fire, making almost as much light.

Picture Five: Rosy wind turbines at sunrise.

Picture Six: And rosy trees, too!

Picture Seven: Looking in the opposite direction, at the actual sunrise.

Picture Eight: It took the sun the best part of the walk to get over the horizon.

Picture Nine: The Christmas Cake is now almond pasted... just the icing to go!

Picture Ten: Orlando keeping his toes warm under the rug.

Picture Eleven: The view of the Solstice.

Picture Twelve: The Christmas Tree remaining as radiant as when it was put up ten days ago.

Picture Thirteen: The waning moon looking magical from the kitchen door.

Picture Fourteen: There are no words!

Picture Fifteen: Running alongside the train en route to Wick this morning.

Picture Sixteen: Graffiti on the calendar to give it a more festive feel!

Picture Seventeen: One paw emerged, the other is still buried.

Picture Eighteen: Almost all the doors on the Advent Calendar have now been opened.

Picture Nineteen: Orlando now asleep in a more usual Sprocker-Sprawl!

Picture Twenty: The fire's in the grate now, and the pinecones and pomanders are warming themselves.

Picture Twenty-One: The Christmas Radio Times - the only one of the year we ever buy - and today we completed the cryptic crossword. Feeling rather accomplished!
