‘Twas the night before Christmas, in the stillness of the Dorset countryside …
we’re playing Christmas carols on my iPhone. There’s no TV in the cabin, some internet.
Just each other for company.
May’s comment: Sitting in the stillness of the night, bundled up and looking up at the skies – watching the moon play games with the clouds …
and away from all the hustle and bustle, remembering the reason we celebrate Christmas.
It is quite mild here because of the cloudy skies. A year ago, I was in Arctic clime, chasing a BIG dream – to see the Northern Lights. Just when I thought it was yet another futile attempt, when magically they appeared late on Christmas Eve over the skies of Tromso. And one more time on the last night when riding horseback with the sound of snow crunching under the hooves as we rode along the beach – when the green curtain of light appeared in the skies.
How different this is from last year –
They talked amongst themselves of this “dog lady” – I know because I overheard them when I was on an excursion! LOL! But there were also so many others who begged to walk them for me because they were missing their pooches !
But this year, there’s no one around us. On this silent night, holy night, the moon is bright and there are no Northern Lights, but I am still looking into the skies …
Happy Christmas!
Maybe an element of supporting local business 🙂
