..and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

There are only a few windows unopened in our advent calendar!

I’m in Prague at the moment. Czechs celebrate Christmas on the evening of 24th December. I’ll be still there just about to fly back that evening to get ready for turkey and mince pies here in England. This way I’m going to have two Christmases!

I’ll be traveling in the evening on the 24th, so I may even see Father Christmas in the sky (once again)! I already got a first Christmas present the other day. A picture from Bill, age 4. It’s a drawing of mouse. I love the brown fur and with the white background it looks as if the mouse is standing in the snow. Thank you Bill.

Here is another picture which made me happy. My younger daughter Cecilia design this Christmas card. I love it!

I looked through my folders trying to find some of mine winter pictures and found these very old illustrations.
