My first Christmas present - a 12 year old Tobermory. Very nice, thank you.

A bit irritating that the last couple of photos wouldn't fit

with the rest on my previous post!
I finally got to the front door of the church, to find the porch transformed into a stable, with the babe in the Manger. And finally, my Advent Candle has reached its end, in a pool of spent wax.

Happy Christmas Eve. Here are a few photos: my Advent

Wreath; some showing our Christmas Journey to the stable

in our Church porch; and the end of my Advent Candle.
My Advent Wreath, with all four red candles lit, for Last Sunday in Advent and Christmas Eve. The crowds climbing the way to the church to find the stable. Me joining the queue to see the stable.... I'm reduced to the height of a child, in my scooter, at the back of the queue, as is the lady in front of me. The Star is held aloft. We've been following it all the way from the railway station.

Happy 2nd Sunday in Advent. I celebrated it at home again.

This pesky cough is not giving me any quarter!
My home Advent Ring, on the carved wooden base from the Chapel in the Fields, and the Spiced Apple red candles.

Ha ha! I don't get along with coffee. I do enjoy Green Tea -

to the tune of my pint-and-a-half mug!
My Dr Who Dalek mug - holds 1 1/2 pints. I was born on the day Dr Who first aired, so my husband bought me this for my 50th birthday!
