Countdown to Christmas: Day 21

Our holiday is sadly coming to an end, so we left Lizard this morning to head back north again.

A Trip to Truro

Before we left Cornwall completely, we stopped off in Truro for a bit of Christmas shopping. I also popped into Truro Cathedral to see the Christmas tree, and we had lunch and a mince pie at Coffee Traders.

Chocolate Orange Hot Chocolate

I still can't resist a festive menu, so when we went for a coffee before starting the drive back to Manchester, I had a Chocolate Orange Hot Chocolate instead.

Christmas Donut

Stopped for a break on the long drive back and I thought I'd have a festive donut. It's not quite as pretty as I thought it was when I bought it.

Advent Tea

Behind Door No. 21 in my Bird and Blend tea calendar... Welsh Cake Cwtch!

Advent Jewellery

And behind Door No. 21 in my Avon jewellery calendar... a snowflake pendant!

Countdown to Christmas: Day 22

This is a relatively short post, as it was the last day of our holiday and we spent most of the day travelling back from Cornwall. Still, we had a nice little stop-off on the way.

Advent Tea

Day 22 on my Bird and Blend Tea advent calendar was Moondrop Dreams!

‘Hobby-Horse and Horn Dance’

The next Christmas chapter from Ronald Hutton's Stations of the Sun that I read was 'Hobby-Horse and Horn Dance'.

A Trip to Truro

We usually stop off in Truro on the way home from Lizard to do a bit of Christmas shopping. I always like to pop into the cathedral to see their Christmas tree as well while we're there.
