More from my Sketchbook....

A hint of winter sunshine on Christmas Eve...

It's been so dull and grey the last few days,very cold for Cornwall,even though we have had only ice,no snow(my car slid down the road on invisible ice on Tuesday-I beat a very hasty retreat,hadn't realised how bad our road was! )...what a joy to see a hint of sun for an hiur today...even the cat sat outside for more than 3 minutes....not MUCH longer,mind,the big fairy that he is :)

have a heart...

wishing you love and peace this Christmas and always x
