Does this give you a warm glow?
It does me! But I admit that a large part of that is memory. I took it at Chatsworth House last year in the company of my daughter. The visit made my Christmas special and I still feel a warm glow thinking about it.
I rarely see my daughter at Christmas but the lure of Narnia brought her to Chatsworth and I managed to meet her there. That represents warmth to me. How about you?
This is Lisa, ‘keeping warm’
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Warmth.”
Being with family does bring us warmth and radiant glow in our hearts that brings about joy and lots of reasons to smile during Christmas and the many years thereafter. Thanks for sharing with us the warmth and love of the holidays.
Thanks, Mr. B 🙂 I know how much your family means to you (and warmth, too 🙂 )
There will be more Christmases to lure her close. Beautifully photographed exquisite dining setting! I would like Lisa’s wrap 🙂
I hope so! The cape was in the children’s dressing-up section 🙂 🙂
I could use one now. How cold is at your place? (I don’t think I will be walking/going out soon 😉 )
It was -2C today but it doesn’t get lower than that. A milder spell is on the way. I’d have to hibernate in Croatia. Good job your translating keeps you busy!
You are right, Jo. I think I am happier when I am crazy busy – it does not leave me much time to think and analyse. Have a good, peaceful and warm night.
Hugs 🙂
I remember the post…being with your daughter is certainly a warming remembrance. Have a wonderful new year.
Thank you so much, Karen! It’s been wonderful to have your support this year 🙂 Happy 2015 to you!
Your daughter looks like the kind of girl who would fill a mother’s heart with warmth.
This year I spent Christmas with all three of my daughters. One evening we had what my oldest daughter called “A Medieval Feast.” We turned off the lights and her husband lit an array of mismatched candles placed down the middle of the table. Then they served us a five-course dinner culminating in a delicious Yule log. They passed out song sheets so we could sing ancient carols between courses.
Wishing you many warm and happy holidays.
That sounds wonderful! Thank you, and a joy-filled 2015 to you and your family too 🙂
The table with softly lit candles is always a welcome site, but nothing feels warmer than the love of your children. Your Christmas time with Lisa at Chatsworth looks wonderful – can you believe a year has come and gone already? You must tell her how much I adore her teapot purse!
That teapot bag has been much coveted, Elisa 🙂 She visited Chatsworth with a friend this month and managed to find a teapot Christmas tree ornament too 🙂
I am so loving that table. The warmth of the candles makes everything looks amazing. Nice post. I hope you had a great holiday
Warm and comfortable, thanks 🙂 Maybe a little too much food… Happy New Year!
The epitome of warmth Jo especially with your lovely Lisa!
Thanks, Kathryn 🙂 Warm hugs to you!
I had a very snowy Christmas. But now, I’m visiting the warm comfort of home. 🙂
We have a thick frost outside. That’s more than enough white stuff for me 🙂 🙂
Love the post 🙂

Thanks, Brittany 🙂 Happy New Year!
Lovely place and daughter. Hope your holiday was warm and the New Year full of cheer!
Thanks, Renee 🙂 I’m doing my best. Cheers!
Jo, yes …. that table is really inviting and I can feel the warmth that the room in itself brings too. Beautiful image and so is your daughter. Evening hugs …
Hi Vivi 🙂 I’ve just come back to the laptop after packing my son off to Leeds again this evening. Hugs Back 🙂 🙂
Busy … busy all the time – put your feet up now.
See you … soon!
Time for bed hugs …
Thank you for all your lovely comments. Sweet dreams 🙂
Warm and stunning . Happy New Year, Jo. Keep warm. 🙂 ❤️
Hang on, I’ll just turn the heating up 🙂 🙂 Good Christmas, Gem? My very best wishes to you for a brighter, better 2015.
Fingers crossed. Prayers said. Thanks, Jo. ❤️ Be seeing you in 2015.
I am so glad your beautiful daughter and you, Jo, were able to get together a year ago at such a wonderful place, Chatsworth House. Lisa has such a beautiful countenance. I enjoyed this photo you shared, too.
Warmth is candles and fires, along with the way you feel being close to family. Hoping you will have a chance soon to see Lisa, once she gets out and about from her snowy place. Hope you had some hot toddy or a warm cocoa to fill your insides and some warm people surrounding you to fill your soul with warmth, Jo.
I am blessed to have been able to see my Mom for two and a half days, thanks for sending her kind wishes. I wasn’t on my blog since Tues. I came back to see grandchildren and children, then will hate to go off to work tomorrow for three 10 hour days: Groan!
Hoping your new year will be extra special with many sources of happiness. I always add, wishes for good health, as we get older there is nothing so valuable a gift!
Yes, nothing’s as good if you’re full of aches and pains, Robin. Thanks for all the kind thoughts. I talked to Lisa on the phone today and felt much better after that 🙂
Great choice of warmth. Christmas brings such a mix of feelings doesn’t it – just never possible to be with everyone you want to be with.
Thanks for understanding, Debbie 🙂 I nearly didn’t post this because it made me feel quite sad. I was talking to her on the phone not long since and they’ve got snow so she’s quite happy to sit inside and look out.
Memories are precious, they have a warming glow all of their own. 😉
Yes, they surely do 🙂
Hope you had a lovely Christmas with lots of warmth! 🙂
Mostly it was, thanks, Jackie. 🙂 Winter is just arriving! Best wishes for 2015!
🙂 Looks at first glance to be warming, UNTIL one remembers that to be on display those candle have to be run on tiny batteries. No hot flame.
Have a Happy New Year. We plan to travel a bit after New Year Day.

Thanks, Jim. For some reason WordPress filed 6WS before this post, but it doesn’t really matter, does it? Wishing a wonderful 2015 to you and the Missus 🙂
The warmth of family gatherings; so precious.
Better than a scarf, Ann 🙂 Though I wouldn’t be without mine right now!
No snow here Jo, though it tried for a bit this afternoon and I do believe it is all around me – it was a gorgeous blue sky, sunny morning too! I am hoping my warm glow from the south is keeping us snow-free 😉
Now off to find a warm photo for the challenge, there must be one or two I can find…
That doesn’t sound too challenging, Jude 🙂 It’s a bit frost-bitten up here.
