Countdown to Christmas: Day 22


Back in Manchester after a wonderful pre-Christmas holiday! Lots to do over the next couple of days though.

More Mulling!



Time to mull some more apple juice.

Bailey’s Wood Winter Solstice Walk






I led a Winter Solstice Walk in the Woods for the Friends of Bailey's Wood today. We talked about seasonal folklore and I, as always, shared tales of Captain Christmas. We also saw some amazing mushrooms and stopped for some mulled apple juice under the silver birch trees.

Mulled Apple Juice



There was still some mulled apple juice left after the walk, so me and Rob had it with a mince pie!

Yule Candle




We lit our Yule candle from Chalice Creations tonight. Frankincense, cinnamon, orange and cedarwood to put us in a very festive mood.

Advent Tea



Behind Door No. 22 in my Bird and Blend tea calendar... Salted Caramel Lebkuchen!

Advent Jewellery



And behind Door No. 22 in my Avon jewellery calendar... a gold Christmas tree pendant!
