Lilli, Grand Award Courtyard does look rather Christmas-y - lovely frosting!
Temps are on the rise here and they are predicting 7C for Christmas day. Supposed that is slightly 'better' than last year which was 14C. Seems to me that the real winter starts later every year. Lately, our coldest temps only start mid-Jan.
Anyway, looking on the bright side - anyone else notice that the shortest day for this year is a thing of the past?
