The Solstice Light. 
It is nearly Christmas Eve and I have only just managed to get a small post done in time! 
Last week I was not too well, so my plan to do a festive blog post was delayed. 
My feelings about Christmas are mixed emotions because I always feel a sadness and miss some of my family who have passed away. I don't usually talk about my deep feelings online but this time of year makes me think of other people who feel the same way as me. This beautiful reflective image is by Andrey Jitkov.

I do love the magic of Christmas though and the Winter Solstice helps me feel a connection to my loved ones. Fairy lights and tree decorations bring a warmth and beauty to the home that I find comforting. I count my blessings every year, especially now we are more settled in our own house, where I can put my old paintings upon the walls that have been in storage for such a long time... Zigsa enjoyed a little bit of sunshine in the kitchen and he showed his happy face for the camera.


Over the years I have collected many tree decorations, I bet you have as well...
Each one holds a memory of Christmas passed and have a story to tell. Some are quite old and have even travelled to the other side of the world, a few decorations were bought when I lived abroad.

You should always have a little gnome to protect your home. Also, a sun to bring you joy. Have a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful New Year. xx
