For unto us, a child is born… Spotted at the top of Rayleigh High Street Happy Christmas, one and all!
O Holy Night
Chriatmas Eve, my favourite day of the year, when we slow our pace to imagine what is possible, a night when we open our hearts to “O Holy Night”
Shop Local!
We love our local shops and try to support them whenever we can. One of our seasonal traditions is to go to Rayleigh to pick up “Shop Local!”
The End of an Era
Sixty years ago, Audrey and Peter fell in love and began to build a new house together on land that was already in Peter’s family. “The End of an Era”
Solstice Blessings
We approach Christmas slowly in our house. The advent calendar comes out first, then the candles and the nativity sets, but we save the Christmas “Solstice Blessings”
Seasonal Sighting
Walking down the road, this was lying right in the middle of my Path…. a gift! Or rather, the announcement of a gift just waiting to “Seasonal Sighting”
Winter Warming
We are not having a normal winter. Along with this: we are also seeing this: I’m a bit concerned weather-wise, but so far as comfort “Winter Warming”
A Proper Village Fayre
Thundersley did itself proud this afternoon. Friends and neighbours gathered to celebrate the season and wish each other well as shopkeepers welcomed us with open doors and “A Proper Village Fayre”
Long Days
Busy. Busy. By this evening we only had enough energy left to stop in at the local takeaway… A grilled chicken breast and salad for “Long Days”
The Heart of Art
Once a year, on a Tuesday night shortly before Christmas, our bead group has a party. It’s fairly constrained, not in the least bit wild, “The Heart of Art”
