CHRISTMAS IS COMING

Am having one of those days where nothing can cheer me up, not even the moors I'm afraid. Have done all my Christmas shopping and the cards are now started in earnest. I had to share Origami Boy's effort that we've had printed through one of those school based schemes. I think it's beautiful and we have thirty of them to distribute. I love the bauble flying off and the freedom with which he's drawn the green of the tree. I wish I had his confidence! Tomorrow is the first of December so really not long to go. I wonder if it will snow up here. Rather than bore you with my woes, here are some pictures from the last couple of days of lovely clear skies and iciness. 

Frosty Dawn

Icicles on Kestor Rocks

Water frozen as it flowed off the rocks

Ice patterns 

Not much to eat

Hungry Sparrows

Only snow missing for a festive scene

Snippet met his friend Wellington up the hill today and was in high spirits all the way home after romping about for ten minutes. Wellington takes one step to Snippet's four so he was exhausted when we got home. I keep finding bits of this gorse branch on the floor this afternoon!

It's the school disco tonight and Origami Boy is very excited. I'd better get some food ready for when he gets home as it starts at 5.00pm and he'll need to be getting into those glad rags. Perhaps having to fraternise with other parents will snap me out of my black mood....I hope so. Have a great weekend and I will speak to you next week. Until then.....
