Winter is coming

Is it ok to be excited for Christmas yet?

It's not like the brisk morning journey to work in the dark is fun, but it certainly adds some festive charm to my day, and is a little reminder that December is nearly upon us. It's also nice to go and explore little villages and craft fairs to see what's on offer, and there's nothing like wrapping up warm with a hat, hands tightly gripped onto the arms of your loved one as the cold air pulls you closer together. Today, me and Gavin did exactly that. After visiting a village hall for tea and cake we took a stroll around some local countryside. The hat and boots were definitely needed!

Soon the radio will start to play The Pogues Fairytale of New York, and it will be acceptable to watch Elf for the millionth time. It's also a better excuse than any to get a little crafty, whip out the sewing machine or glue gun, and make some festive creations, either for your home or as gifts. I'm going to do a series of posts leading up to the main event, showing what I'm making this year to keep that Christmas spirit going! Stay tuned as the first Crafty Christmas post will be on its way soon.

Keep warm folks!
