Another month has flown by and here we are in December, looking ahead to seasonal celebrations in communities across the world … some of us will have lively festive times with family and friends … others may have quieter and more reflective times.
As always, for a new month we have a new Forkers thread and all are welcome here to say hello and chat about the bits and bobs of life in friendship and good company … our sofas are comfy, the kettle is always on, our shoulders are broad and our hearts are warm … so when you need respite from the hurly burly of the festivities and a quiet corner to eat mince pies, cake or cheese and share peace and goodwill, you can make yourself at home here …

I’m bracing myself for the minus 2 outside… take care all, particularly if you have this cold snap.
A lovely introduction as usual @Dovefromabove December!! The year has gone by with astonishing rapidity!!
I hope the driveway gets laid today @Lizzie27
Many happy returns of the day to you @Hostafan1
Seems Blighty is in a cold snap so you'd better wear your studded shoes!! Mind how you go!
The final expression for the year: Quand Saint Eloi a bien froid
Quatre mois dure le grand froid.
Could be a cold winter for you this year. We are "expecting" rain today. In what quantity I have no idea - but whatever will be welcome.
May your day be peaceful and happy.

thank you Dove, you are the kindest host!
Very cold here too and this morning I have aqua-gym 🥶.
Happy birthday to @Hostafan1 and may your return be not too shocking given the temperatures.

@Pat E we are also half an hour's drive from our local town but we do have a wonderful small shop in the village - run by the local folk themselves, it sells everything you could possibly want to survive and never ran out of anything all through covid when the big supermarkets were showing a lot of empty shelves.
Another frozen morning here but at least that horrid biting wind seems to have dropped thank goodness.
Happy Birthday @Hostafan1 hope you have a lovely day - will the locals bake you a cake?
I've moved back into our bedroom. OH's bronchitis is on the mend.
Frosty and sunny outside. Met Office says 50% chance of snow at 9am. BBC says sunny periods. It's 9am now.
Happy birthday @Hostafan1.
Maybe today I'll write some Christmas cards.
Tonight we are going to a friends of the church cocktail party, at least I am, don't think OH is up to it yet. Will wear jeans and a thick jumper, the room isn't the warmest.
🧦 🧦 Glad OH is on the mend 👍
is it snowing down your way? It is here 🙄
