Apologies for being behind on the blog and for hardly commenting these last few days. We are less than a week from the wedding, and I'm amazed how much still needs to be done. Added to this the cold weather has turned me into a creaking old crone - very unpleasant, not to mention painful.

So please bear with me. My home town is becoming increasingly surreal, as it always does at Christmas time. Yesterday I saw Santa with a white stick making his way down the high street, and today I noticed a house where the roof is not only covered in rope lights, but they have managed to fit a giant snowflake (i.e. about 8 - 9 feet across) to the chimney. I suspect some of the houses up here can be seen from space.

Last year someone decorated their home as a giant aquarium, complete with blue and purple lights and illuminated gold fish! I even saw one inflatable Snowman hanging by his neck from an upstairs window. It was a said sight - clearly Christmas had got too much for him.

Anyway, I am doing my best to visit all your blogs even though I don't always manage to write a comment. Christmas/Yule is going to be even more low-key than usual this year!

Brightest blessings
