A little message for the season ...

Have been a little absent lately, busy with preparations for Christmas but also just taking a step back to enjoy this time of year, relaxing and being with family. Currently we are occasionally watching this - Track Santa!

Only one more sleep until Christmas Day, as Imogen is letting us all know today, excitement is mounting here.

Merry Christmas to all or blessing to you however you celebrate this time of year, whether it be Yule, Hannukah or just honoring the Seasons and the solstice. Thank you for your company and friendship over the last year and more, I look forward to sharing this space with you and your blog spaces over the coming year and more to come.

Today we shall be relaxing, drinking in the spirit of the season, maybe taking a walk, baking some Roasted Cranberry mince pies (halfway down the page linked) and readying ourselves for lots of fun, fun, fun.

I will leave you with one of my favourite songs at this time of year ... played lovely by the Southampton Ukelele Jam (including Alex!). Enjoy!

See you all the other side of Christmas,  and having now passed the shortest day, light will gradually return to extend our days. Have a great time everyone, full of joy, wonder and laughter xxx
