All Is Quiet

Christmas Time & A Christmas Give Away!

I have enjoyed this past week. I can get out and drive my car, at last. The Christmas shopping is almost finished, always a great relief. The decorations almost done. Mince pie's made and eaten, two times now. Just the cards to finish and post.

I awoke on Sunday to a bright and frosty morning.

Jobs done and Mr N. & Mr P. both home safely from Sunday Football!, we decided to wrap up well and set off to Greenwich for the afternoon.

The Old Naval College.

Seen from the steep path that leads from Greenwich Park into the town and very close to the Cutty Sark which is still undergoing surgery.

Going down the steep frosty path was easy, climbing back up, pushing the prams was not!

We huffed and puffed, giggling all the way.

The town itself is always lively.

Lots of families out enjoying a winters day.

Babies in prams.

Men in Bobble hats.

Ladies laughing.

Cold breath in the air!

There are lots of interesting shops. This little bakery with it's wonderful aroma of baking bread and cakes was beckoning us in, who can resist fresh crusty bread like this.

We had a bite to eat and some Mulled Wine, emmmm, in the covered market, enjoying the heat from the overhead heaters. Jude so well wrapped he could not move a thing! only his eyes.

Returning back to the cars, the sun was going down, such a beautiful sky.

Nelson stands here looking out towards Docklands and the City.

After 'doing' the shops and buying our dinner from M&S.......not just any Lasagna!

We went back to the car's.

I was the passenger! I took this image of Blackheath which is just outside Greenwich Park.
The tall Georgian Houses that surround the heath are so elegant.

Sorry the image is blurred, we must have been shifting a bit!

And then...
Home to a warm house.
The tree waiting to be switched on with two little boy's who can look but not touch!


Candles to light.

Dogs to feed.

And me, to potter in my kitchen late at night when everyone is in bed.

Heaven, pottering about.

And onto the Give Away, please feel free to leave a comment, even if you have not left one ever before!

I will be entering all the names into a 'Hat' and Freddie will make the draw next Wednesday.

The winner to be announced next Friday.

the Gift is a surprise!

Have a wonderful wintry week.

Love and big hugs,

Carol
