Card games for pennies, chocolates, burning pine cones on wood fires, sugared almonds, roast chestnuts, fondue, ginger wine ,visiting Narnia and catching up.
Cold
Cinema, Sherlock Holmes,orange lichen,
Thoughts and ideas for the coming New year.
"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."
Lingering ice
Cinema, Sherlock Holmes,orange lichen,
Heres hoping for a peaceful and happy one for us all.
And remember to look for that little bit of magic in each and every
day.

Love the new playlist and spend many an hour listening to it, we certainly have the same taste in music..... well everything really.
I'm sorry I have not commented for a while (I tend to hibinate when life gets tough), but hopeful ly there's a bright light at the end of this long tunnel.
Love and light to you and your family and may all yours dreams come true in 2010.

That sweet photo of you...I borrow from Mr Tennyson...

God in his mercy lend her grace...
The Lady of Shalott.
Lovely smile you have. Do keep warm won't you Karen, can't have the artist sniffling while creating!
My first comment, I think, but not my first visit. It is always a refreshing place to stop by, makes the time pause. The music is lovely, and the snow. Thanks--Hart
