return
I now have my laptop and printers back!
We had Christmas lunch at the local pub...not cheap,but no cooking and no washing up for either of us!! So a nice walk down, a relaxed meal and a longer walk home arriving just before the latest rain shower!
I've been going through emails this afternoon, deleting rubbish and sorting the good stuff! Would you believe I had 85 emails waiting in my website inbox....and 84 were spam!!
I've been instructed...no work today!! So I'm planning pot and card photography and postage and packing pricing...then I can hit the ground running again!!
This year's cards were linocut and handprinted..and I'm definitely going to carry on with that. I enjoyed it 40 years ago and it is still fun now.
Here is the Elf (Santa Baby?!!) who was the prototype...before the IT problems...
Now to choose the next image for a linocut. It is too easy to get big ideas and try too complicated images too early..so I must ease back into it and keep it reasonably simple.
We're here eating special treat stroopwaffel, dark chocolate, plums and homemade flapjacks in front of the fire.
Hot water bottles are in order as the temperature is dropping ready for tomorrow's possible snow or freeze.
Work tomorrow!!

late and early
The Pirate wanted to go to the village church for Christmas Night service, so I kept him company. The religion isn't my thing, but the sense of community in the two villages that share our village's vicar is good.
We walked down for 11.30 pm under the stars and after tea and sweeties, walked back under straggling snow clouds with the stars peeking around them.
Then we sat in front of the woodburner with the doors open (and the spark guard up!) opening a few presents.
I used the tablet to show The Pirate a little of the Welsh tradition of Plygain...have a look (sorry no link, but the search engines find it easily) . It sent shivers up his spine!!
Season's Greetings to you all xx
