Just a last remnant of Christmas!
On New Year’s Eve I paid a visit to St. Mary’s Church in Whitby. High on the cliff top, the chilly graveyard looks out to sea but, at this time of year, inside the church is bathed in a warm glow.
It’s the light of numerous Christmas trees, contributed by the community, and a huge boost to the church funds. If you’re lucky you might even catch a carol service.
There are some beautiful Advent scenes
A last dusting of WordPress snow sets them off rather nicely. I saw a little of the real thing on the road across the Moors- but not much! I guess you know now where my Monday walk will be taking us next week? Winter woollies will be required.
Until then, enjoy your weekend, and don’t forget to call in on Cate at Show My Face. You wouldn’t want her to play Six Word Saturday all alone, would you?

Always good to see you and your lovely posts Jo. We had a peaceful time for sure and of course … always surrounded by nature and yes, just the way I like it, except for the mozzies and flies. Those you can take. 😆
No, not really sweetness. Thanks for asking. The fibro is on and off..as usual, but I am not complaining. There are people who are worse off than me and why make things worse than it is? So, no .. I have no complaints whatsoever. It doesn’t mean my life is perfect but I do my best to make it so. 😆
Wishing you a wonderful 2015 as well hon. 😀 ♥

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is over and that next Tuesday is the ‘official’ day for taking down Christmas decorations. Lovely images. 😉

A dusting of snow sounds like just the right amount Jo. Here there was a big dump last night so we have been shoveling away. A good winter addition to the gym work outs.
The photos are lovely and I specially like what looks like a little hedgehog or mouse?

Yes, I like the hedgehog or mouse too, Sue. I don’t expect it will take offence either way 🙂 I left the snow behind on the Moors. Best place for it, really 🙂 🙂

Ours seems determined to remain. No Moors for it to be left in. 🙂
