Day Twenty-Three: Christmas Eve Eve

Picture One: We made a start on cleaning the windows. One of those jobs which we've been meaning to do all year, but the result was a very clear view of the bird feeding station!

Picture Two: Everyone queueing up for a Click and Collect at Tesco!

Picture Three: Playing Santa and going dropping off presents.

Picture Four: But we only needed a little bag instead of a sack!

Picture Five: A flying sleigh would have been useful to avoid these potholes though! 

Picture Six: Ginny with a very moody sky. 

Picture Seven: An even moodier sky as we headed towards Wick harbour.

Picture Eight: Thurso Christmas lights are beautiful! 

Picture Nine: I know you can't see it (!) but I promise there was a deer in this field just across from our house!

Picture Ten: The hall looks quite different when the door is open, though no less Christmassy!

Picture Eleven: We're no longer looking through a layer of green!

Picture Twelve: A perfect cross on the door. A bit weird as none of us made it!

Picture Thirteen: From this...

Picture Fourteen: ...To this!

(Moving) Picture Fifteen: Off they go to Bethlehem!

Picture Sixteen: It may look like an Ent, but it is in fact a nearly finished Advent Candle.

Picture Seventeen: Only 24 left to go...

Picture Eighteen: ...Until we reach the baby in the manger.

Picture Nineteen: The ham (cured by Clemency) for Christmas Breakfast is now boiled ready.

Picture Twenty: And the biscuits we baked a couple of days ago are already going down!

Picture Twenty-One: The Snowman is ready for its first musical outing in Stempster!

Picture Twenty-Two: We've had almost the entire Christmas story on the Advent Calendar.

Picture Twenty-Three: But this is the one thing which never tires!
