A very relaxed Christmas Day. After a late breakfast of croissants and bacon it was time to open those presents so lovingly wrapped and placed under the tree. Despite appearances Patch was enjoying sitting on Linas ' lap. We like to give silly presents and generally attempt to disguise our presents using recycled packaging. Vytas was very happy with his Dremmel (craft drill) which he wanted for his model making. At the end of the present opening we sit amid a sea of wrapping paper, some to be saved but most destined for the fire. The boys spent most of the day attempting to repair the straps on the snowboard before hitting the slopes (Ron's field) and taking advantage of the snow while we still have it. A late Christmas dinner followed, it's hard to cook a dinner which mainly consists of items needing to go in the oven - bird, sausages, stuffing, parsnips and roast potatoes, when the rayburn with its tiny oven drops its temperature every time a new dish is added.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my friends and visitors. Have a wonderful day.

T'was the night before Christmas and all round the house the garden was covered with snow and with ice. (Say that in a posh voice and it will rhyme.) The air was all still as I marched round the hill with cards from afar left safe in my car. Two sons then came down with food bought in town and stored in the car by their Ma and their Pa. Then off sons did trot to the Muddiford Inn but no bus to be got so a bit more walkin '. Not much to buy when to town they did go, but they gave it a try before meeting big bro'. Down motorways long from the north he had come for the call it is strong to spend Christmas at home. Now all are home safely Christmas can start. With Jesus and family close to my heart. Disclaimer - I'm not a poet, and I do know it.

Same old snow keeping us stuck in our valley. I went for a walk up the hill to stretch my legs and see what the road at the top was like but there is no chance of driving out. I would just like to get those last few presents and collect any parcels and letters that are waiting at the Post Office and pick up some library books. I tend to leave that job till last and often end up with nothing new to read over the holidays. I'm hoping that Peter isn't working all day on Friday so that we could go in then. I haven't heard anything from Vytas who is due to drive down on Friday but the road conditions don't look very good so he might be stuck up North for Christmas. Sheep always look grubby and yellow against the gleaming white snow. There were a few moments of sunshine but the wind was really icy. I could hear the Hunt's dogs down along the valley (must stop thinking evil thoughts about people who kill animals for fun). Some of their vehicles were parked up at the to...

Had to post a picture of my 'home-made' tree which I rather like though I could do with a chunkier star on the top. It is making the sitting room smell really nice, no need for pine scented candles or room sprays. And just for fun some typical views of my kitchen Rayburn festooned with drying clothes & shoes. The cats have been taking it in turns to occupy the warmer oven and the boots were there to be made a bit more flexible by the heat. Elwen doesn't usually get a chance to occupy this prize position and is making the most of it.

Secret North Lava Cube This Christmas gift your loved one a fireplace. No I am not getting delusional but actually talking about the rather unique Lava Cube of Fire Tabletop Fireplace. Redefining portable fireplaces, this is not your run of the mill fire-breathing rock and is actually made of "raw" Icelandic lava (now that us impressive). Manufactured by Secret North who hand picked the volcanic rocks after eruptions in Iceland, the fireplace includes a wooden plinth and features an eye-catching black fiber wood symbol. The portable fireplace uses non-toxic bio-gel fuel but the crackling flames are more ornamental as the fireplace is not really designed to warm your abode. You can buy it from   here   for USD 379.00. Secret North Lava Cube
