Our Christmas tree with lights on.

A Wintry weathered Monday before Christmas.
I kept it local, coping with rain and blustery gusts.
Paul bought several presents from a pottery in Ingleton and they are useful and beautiful in their simple, practical design.
Maria went shopping in town and enjoyed a busy, good time.
I am enjoying the excellent television programmes, including the making of the Sound of Music, the Russian Polar Railway, and the BAFTA celebration of Downton Abbey.
