Christmas Eve...

and now time to relax and enjoy mincepies homemade by daughter mine...mmm! 

 

 almost there with the wrapping...off for a nice hot bath as it's pretty cold, hail and gailforce winds have made for a wild day outdoors, nearly too wild to cut the greenery for the mantlepiece...a job I like to do on Christmas eve afternoon listening to carols from King's College, Cambridge...

 

a quick pic of our two happy donkeys, beautiful Rachel settling in nicely now, it's so good to see Ned with company...tho a little strange as she is so different in colouring to Gwendoline...we all look forward to getting to know her better in the days ahead

and tonight as they pull Santa's sleigh round the village and the reindeer have a rest in their stable...we can all sleep peacefully knowing that tomorrow is a magical day!

I hope that you are all safe and warm tonight and that your Christmas will be all you could wish for...
see you soon
love Emmax
