Solstice

The shortest day, and it is indeed grim out there.   Lashing of rain and high winds.   Still we are on the right side of winter.   At the end of the month the sun makes an appearance though my kitchen window (always providing it is not hiding in cloud).

The December Journal Quilt is finished.   It is far to dark to attempt a photo.   That will have to wait for better lighting conditions.

This afternoon the Christmas decorations box will be opened.   Holly, ivy and mistletoe were gathered from the garden in between rain bursts.    Lights already festoon the balcony rail, making the raindrops look beautiful!

best wishes for a wonderful festive season

and all good things in 2014
