......And breathe......

At this time of the year......

When each hour only seems to have fifty minutes......

When our homes are being decorated to within an inch of their lives.....

And we turn cooking and shopping into an Olympic sport.

Just stop, and take a minute to appreciate some of the simpler things in life......

There's something about lights on a string......

And the silence of a snowy scene from the comfort of your own home......

I know its easier said than done, but lets just enjoy the simple things.

Hope you have a lovely week,

Who stole November?......

Where did that month go?

I can't believe we are now at the beginning of December.

Real life has overtaken 'blog life' and I have barely managed to keep up to date with my favourite blogs, let alone sit down to write one of my own.

So what does December hold for us?

Of course we can now use the 'C' word with gay abandon.

And colder weather - often bringing with it scenes of beauty......
