Yay ... I've got my first Christmas card, thanks John.
It;s starting to feel a lot like Christmas now, especially on my evening doggy walk around town with Suky. The lights are beautiful and run the full length of the High Street as well as in most of the little alleyways and Weinds.
Just lovely and festive.
And what's that I spy just now from my front doorstep as the mist over the hills starts to clear ...
... I thought so!!
A first sprinkling of snow.
Now it really is starting to feel like Christmas.

That big round hedge in the first of your doorstep view photos looks like a big Christmas pudding with a sprig of holly on the top!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, it's exceptionally neat apart from that sprig, I'm wondering if it's owner is planning a little shaped thingy on top ... or is maybe just a short person 🤣😃
DeleteYour High Street looks lovely, I know ours is lit but I am rarely there when it's dark (mutters in the background "must make an effort").
ReplyDeleteSnow visible on the hills here for the last couple of days.
I'm walking it each night with Suky just to drink in the magic of the lights and the lovely Christmassy shop windows. Everyone makes a real effort here it's brilliant 🎄💖
DeleteThe High Street looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've never lived anywhere to see snow on the hills - the little we had here yesterday soon turned to yet more rain
I don't think I could live anywhere without hills, although I mostly like looking at them not walking up them 🤣😀
DeleteI've never lived anywhere flat. We don't play marbles much around here!!!
DeleteHaha, we looked at houses in Lincolnshire before we moved to Wales, the flatness there was amazing.
DeleteI miss Xmas lights, they do them here but they are kinda strange, I am glad I am in hospital to get away from it . I should be home for Xmas and then in January we go to Sapporo for the snow festival minus 18, but it’s wonderful, we get a bit in Tokyo but it doesn’t last long. Mt fuji gets a coating most of the year. I love seeing that mountain.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought of starting a blog, it would make for fascinating reading and comparisons to the UK. My eldest sons brother in law and wife live in Japan. She's Japanese and he's an English martial arts master, training people over there, and from the snippets I hear life is very different.
DeleteHow lovely - snow on the hills and beautiful Christmas lights.

It made my day spotting the snow. 😃
DeleteThe view you have from your home is gorgeous. I do miss the open countryside. I love seeing towns and villages lit up so beautifully too. At least here the houses are covered in masses of Christmas lights, reindeer, snowmen, holly wreaths and candy canes 🎅 🎄 We are hoping for a little snow too. It will, hardly stop us going out this year will it!
ReplyDeleteStill keeping my fingers crossed for a quick sale on your smallholding x
The view from the master bedroom in Alan's part of the house is brilliant, right out over the canal with all the barges moored along the edge, but I won't have much of a view from my windows unfortunately 🥴🙂
DeleteOh how lovely and festive does your little town look! A wise move I think for you - it seems you have lots of lovely countryside and scenery around you too. Seasons greetings from our Tier 3 area!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely, I have the best of all worlds here, shops, rivers and hills. Bring in Tier 3 is not good is it, but at least our shops are open now 😀
DeleteSo much fun to see the Christmas lights!
ReplyDeleteOh it's beautiful isn't it 💖🎄😃
DeleteYour town looks sparkling and ready for the holidays! I suppose your "High Street...alleyways and Weinds" are the same as our "Main Street, back alleys and side streets". I love how our languages are similar so I can figure out what you mean but yet different in the local expressions we use.
ReplyDeleteYes, just slightly different words for the same thing 😀.
DeleteBeautiful, woman,just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is 🎄💖🎄
DeleteWhat beautiful lights and perfect timing for the first snow.

It's very Christmassy that's for sure. I'm just off out to post my Christmas cards 😀💖🎄
DeleteWhat a beautiful site to behold. We had a sprinkling yesterday but it melted very quickly not before Bertie attempted to eat it. I love town Christmas lights they always look so comforting.
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty isn't it. Aww, lovely Bertie 😄
DeleteThe lights are fantastic, so festive.
ReplyDeleteOur snow is slowly disappearing as the temperatures here are a bit above what they should be this year.
God bless.
It's absolutely freezing here tonight, I've just had a tussle with the wheelie bin lid ... it was frozen shut!!
DeleteTussled with the wheelie bin lid. Not fun when your nose is frozen.
Delete... and you have one hand full of your recycling that you're desperately trying not to drop 🤣🤣
DeleteThe lights look beautiful. It's lovely to see everywhere decorated for Christmas and it feels all the more special this year. X
ReplyDeleteWe really need all this twinkliness this year don't we 🎄💖🎄
DeleteLovely that you can walk, to your beautifully lighted Down Town!
ReplyDelete🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Yes I literally live at the end of the High Street, so the lights start at my bedroom window 😃
DeleteA couple cards... A sighting of snow... Same here. It's beginning to feel like Christmas. I even stuck up our tree today.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to be starting to 'feel' Christmas isn't it 🎄💖🎉🐧💖🎄
