10th December: Second Sunday of Advent

Picture 1: it may not look like a particularly exciting sunrise, but the colour in the sky was washing the whole conservatory in pink this morning.

Picture 2: Orlando had a slightly wild start to the day. The vet said on Wednesday that he was a healthy dog and Orlando has taken this as permission to behave like a puppy.
Picture 3: A full log basket is always a reassuring look as we approach midwinter!
Picture 4: It's a sure sign of Nearly Christmas when this comes out. Look how the pages have been stained by years of Christmas Treacle Biscuit Making!
Picture 5: Although it's a lot warmer than last weekend, the birds are still hungry. Here is Mum making up a feast for them out of out-of-date ice cream waffle cones!
Picture 6: Look at the bubbles! A lovely gin and tonic in mid-afternoon feels very Christmassy!
Picture 7: Some cake all the way from Brittany! This is courtesy of Holly and Andrew - thank you!
Picture 8: Apparently, our local Christmas Treat was cancelled this year. But that didn't stop them from dropping off a beautiful hamper for Mum and Dad!
Picture 9: The second candle is lit on our advent wreath. It's always strange when you feel so close to Christmas but you're only on the Second Sunday of Advent!
Picture 10: No mistletoe and wine just yet but, right now, the Clem's by the fire!
