Phew!! That's a relief @Uff! 😅 Step womble has just de iced the car and set off back to Brighton. So lovely to see her! Bird feeders all topped upbut need to get more seed and suet pellets for this cold spell... maybe just 1 more coffee...
Good morning. Woke up to a deep frost and heavy mist so stayed in bed reading till the sun burst thru and now it's lovely and clear and bright but still below freezing. Wreath making today then.
Like @tui34 we are expecting rain but later on on Xmas day. Won't go for a walk on the beach tho as the world and his wife will be there. We'll go on Boxing Day if it's not wet.
Happy birthday son of Dove and anyone else whose birthday is close to Xmas. Not fair to be forgotten or have paired down festivities.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

It's very frosty here too. Been down to -5° this week.
I've just been mending the desk from Son 2's bedroom, he doesn't want it. It got damaged in the move here, luckily I've found the very strong glue. I want to use it for my sewing machine. I still haven't unpacked most of my sewing stuff. When I moved into this house in January there wasn't a utility room or a study or a decent toolroom for OH's stuff, but there was a double garage. Now there is all that and there are still unpacked boxes in the ex-garage loft. The open barn has had its floor concreted and it's now the car port.
I haven't had time to deal with it all as I was unpacking all the essentials, making the garden, and going to OH's cottage in Norfolk.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
That exhibition sounds fascinating @Obelixx. Happy anniversary @Hostafan1 - you are, like us here in Suffolk, luck to be living somewhere we love. We will have been here 20 years next year. (Although visiting for much longer than that). Rotten luck for your granddaughter @Uff. Woke really early and opened the curtains to see a thick layer of frost everywhere. Cup of tea and back to bed to read for a while. Could have stayed there all day but - things to do and as my daughter tells me - it's Christmas in a minute!
Right then. I've just bathed that little chocolate coloured scruff and I'm going outside to carry on with my galvanised tank project. Mind you it's nearly 10.30 so better have coffee first, don't want to have to break off the project.
Sitting and staring at a lovely piece of Colston Bassett Stilton, plus some Brie de Meaux, wondering will they last until Christmas. Moira is picking up the Christmas cake, made by a friend of hers [ actually it's a tier of a wedding cake, but that is a long story ] We are going to have fun.

Sounds as if you're getting organised @Busy-Lizzie ... enjoy getting entangled with the holly and the ivy @Obelixx
