I'm still determined to get these all published, even though we're hurtling into 2023 now. This one is quite a big post, as we did quite a lot on 20th December. We'd had quite stormy weather while we were away, but this was a day when things calmed down a bit so we took advantage of that and went on a couple of trips.
Advent Tea
Day 20 of my Bird and Blend Tea calendar was Peach Soda!
Christmas Earrings
Today's Christmas earrings were a snowflake and Christmas tree combo!
‘Rites of Hospitality and Charity’
The next Christmas chapter I read in Ronald Hutton's Stations of the Sun was 'Rites of Hospitality and Charity'.
Coastal Path Walk
We went for a walk along the coastal path today to enjoy a bit of midwinter sunshine. Although the sun was shining, the sea was still pretty wild! And we got to see a waterfall as well, meaning that we ended the year in the same way we began.
Midwinter Greenery
There are some fantastic evergreens along the coastal path, including ivy and juniper, which was a nice reminder of the season.
Ann’s Pasties
A walk along the coastal path to Lizard took us straight to Ann's Pasties, of course!
Mousehole Harbour Lights
This evening, we went to Mousehole to see the harbour lights. Sadly, since lockdown, they haven't been able to do a big switch-on event as in previous years, but all the lights were up and on by the time we went.
Praze-an-Beeble
On the way back from Mousehole, we always like seeing all the little villages lit up for Christmas. One of our favourites is Praze-an-Beeble, who always put on a good display.
The Santa Clause
Our next bit of festive viewing was The Santa Clause trilogy!
