Merry Christmas, one and all!
Today I have tidied the house, wrapped presents, boned 1.3 chickens, consumed mulled wine and mince pies with the ever lovely suieties (and unexpected
simont :-) ) and managed to turn
brrm from a collection of amusing electrons into a Real Live Person. And one with a very lovely motorbike at that. Mmmm, sunsets and wind chill and remembering how fast 40mph really is!* Then midnight mass, and the church was a picture, with candles and incense and trees, and a million pinpricks of warm bright white light, and rich evergreens, fruit and berries, and music that is so much a part of the fabric of my life it's impossible to know how stirring it really is...
*What would my mother say if she knew I'd met up with a random guy off the internet and driven off on a bike with him?
