3rd December: Hoar Frost and Christmas Preparations

Photo 1: We haven't made gift tags for about five years. It was very poignant to go through the Christmas Cards, thinking of each person whose name appeared there, both those still with us and those who have now gone.

Photo 2: The poor birds are really struggling at the moment. We're feeding them, but finding water can be tricky. Whenever we put water out, it is frozen within the hour!

Photo 3: I absolutely love hoar frost! The Legend of the Spider's Web is never far from my mind as I wander out in this weather. It is as beautiful as snow - though perhaps not quite as much fun!!
