♥ Our bauble free Christmas tree. How magical are Christmas trees?
♥ We spent this morning in the kitchen. The sherry was open - couldn't quite wait 'til Christmas.
♥ First attempt at clementines in caramel. Not quite there yet. Caramel takes confidence.
♥ Our eldest son is home from uni. And his washing and his music. Love it.
♥ Time for a Sunday roast and gravy has been made in advance for Christmas day.
♥ Lighting the fourth Advent candle at home - now hiding on the sill behind the tree.
♥ An evening carol service.
♥ Home to light more candles.
♥ Dad has been in hospital this week. He was home after 3 days. So grateful.
Hope you are well. Not signing off for Christmas yet - I will be back before the big day xo
I love the way the orange slice looks with the sun shining through it, really pretty.

Glad to hear your dad is out of hospital Claire.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are delightful - the clementines in caramel look so delicious!
I also only have lights on my tree. I think it looks best that way.
ReplyDeleteExcellent news your Father is home for Christmas!
I could do with a chicken dinner!!!
Hello from America. I've recently discovered your blog, Claire -- and I really, really like it. This post brought tears to my eyes. In a nice way. Very glad your dad is home, and glad you'll be back with another post before the big day. Warmest Christmas wishes.
