Given how wet is has been over the last week, and how muddy the lanes are around here, a dirty car was inevitable. At this rate I probably need to get it cleaned every couple of days…

Day 343 – Blue Sky Thinking…
With half an hour to kill this afternoon, I parked up close to this woodland and took a stroll through the trees. With little to interrupt my thoughts, it was a good opportunity to think through some ideas and get them in perspective.
Day 342 – Christmas Message…
I’m not often seen inside a church, but the Christmas Carol Service in the local parish church is not to be missed. Full of families with kids, lots of carols, and mince pies and mulled wine afterwards. This simple tree decoration makes a powerful image…

Day 341 – Grand Old Lady…
Built in 1894, The Grand Theatre is one of Wolverhampton’s treasures. We visited quite often when we lived in the area, and today we took our two granddaughters to see the pantomime. A great show, and a fab afternoon out …
Day 340 – End Of The Day…
I pass this little country church quite often, but never when there is any kind of service going on, so always easy to park outside. It was very late in the afternoon today when I passed by, and I could see the last rays of sunshine on some of the gravestones, so stopped for a quick photo. This gravestone seems to stand out from all those around…
Day 339 – Favourite Watering Hole…
This is indeed one of our favourite pub/restaurants. It’s about a 20 min drive away, but has great food and a very warm and friendly atmosphere. We always take visitors from outside the UK here as it is the epitome of an English pub.
Day 338 – Misty River…
On our way home this afternoon after lunch with family we could see a rather nice sky developing as we drove near the River Severn at Arley. A quick diversion took us down to the river, where we were rewarded with a beautiful sunset, and mist forming on the river. With nowhere to park, and no time to set up my Sony camera, this was a quick shot using my phone…
Day 337 – Afternoon’s Work…
On a cold winter’s day there’s nothing I like more than staying home and tinkering about in the kitchen. Today was an opportunity to make some bread (much better than shop-bought) and makes some preserves for Christmas. The plastic pots are Cranberry Sauce to accompany the turkey, and the jars are Chilli Jelly – perfect for Christmas gifts for friends.
Day 336 – Who Goes There…
I guess everyone knows about ‘The Elf On The Shelf’. This one is called Chippie and belongs to my one granddaughter, and the other granddaughter has one named Rosie… The trouble these elves get into!
Day 335 – Doors…
It’s traditional to have Advent Calendars in December, where a little door is opened every day until Christmas Day, exposing a small gift or a piece of chocolate. We have our own version of this – a wooden Advent Calendar with little drawers, but instead of chocolate, each drawer has an inspiring quote or motto. The grandchildren love the idea, and re-using it each year avoids paper and plastic waste.
