More rain showers - this could be the first December in 11 years when we have achieved the expected rainfall.

The sheep are made from wax by a gentleman in town, who had made an enormous wax crib diorama occupying a whole wall of one room in his house.

And there she hangs, on the kitchen wall above the place I prepare the food. I'm sure she's judging my cooking 😆

The first tiny yellow flowers are opening now - there are four bracts, each covered with these tiny flowers.

Despite seeing them every year, I'm quite fascinated by these Christmas decorations.

Yellow spring flowers in the fields - the weather is still very mild for the time of year.

This used to be one of my favourite patches of land up the road but these days it's flattened, closed off and excavated. Soon it will become yet another concrete edifice 😥

Someone is happy at having been repotted and has decided that it's time to flower. Looking forward to a splash of colour soon .

This seems to be the average weather forecast at the moment - anything ranging from lovely sunshine to thunderstorms, strong winds and hail.

The village garden (which was a Hallowe'en garden not so long ago) is being transformed into a Christmas garden.

My Advent Calendar is enjoying its 49th advent. The date written on the back is 1976 - it's an intrinsic part of the run-up to Christmas.

Village hound - the all-seeing eye of the neighbourhood. Seemed friendly and curious and didn't bark.
