Christmas Caroling

You can feel it in the air, even if you can't see it. It is so foggy over England at the moment that the airports have cancelled many short flights in and out of the country. We have finally got our wish of colder weather though alas Christmas day is predicted to go back up to around 5 degrees. Oh well, no snow this year though are enjoying the -2 to -5 temps over the last few days.

We completed our learning curve of Christmas here with a bit of night time caroling. Thursday night at 6.30pm we went with local villagers to walk around and sing carols at various homes. No it wasn't just to annoy - we also collected money for charity. It really was a charming evening. I dressed up, not in Christmasy gear though my big coat is a lovely red. But in my ski pants and gloves as we were out there for an hour and half singing way. We sung all the classics and were even greeted with treats from door to door, including some very tasty home made fudge from Tony and some scrumptious choccies. I of course accepted all gifts of tasty treats with much glee. We then finished up at the home of Peter and Deborah (a thatch cottage, gorgeous) who organised the event. They did wonders with lovely snacks, mulled wine and a crackling fire. Now this is Christmas in style, I feel for all you sweating back at home :P
