Boxing Day

Well we had a wonderful Christmas Day. I just love the glowing lights that makes Christmas so nice.

 

 
This year we went for a lot of battery operated lights and candles which I really like as you can just leave them on and you don't have to worry about them burning down and people brushing past them.
 

 

 And they even look good when it's not dark.

Anyway now it is boxing day. We got up and my lovely man cooked sausages for breakfast which we duly ate and then went on to have coffee and sweets (all very naughty, but very delicious). Still feeling rather stuffed at about midday we decided to suit and boot ourselves and go out for a walk with our little dog.

 

 

 

The sky was so blue and it was so lovely and bright. The sun was causing very long shadows as we walked.

Our little baby (our westie) just loved it so much. In her little pink coat, which I made for her a couple of years ago she attracts so much attention and people think she is a little puppy, but she 9 years old and still loves to have a stick thrown so she can run and fetch it. After eating all that rich food yesterday, and the sausages and sweets today, it was good to get out for a lovely walk today.

  

 
 
 
 
 

 

It was sad to see what damage the recent storms had caused. Trees had large limbs torn from them by the recent high winds.  

 
 
 





The duck pond was looking fabulous today. The water was very high and reflections dazzled in the sunlight. There were a few people out and about enjoying the clean fresh air. This is a really lovely place to walk.

 

 

Well after our walk we came home, turned the heating up, had a lovely easy meal of cold meats and pickles (traditional for us on Boxing Day), watched a little telly and now I am going to settle down now and do my crochet (something nice and warm and snuggly which I will share with you later) and enjoy the rest of the day.

What a lovely lovely Christmas this has been x
