Freyja and Christina crossing the English/Welsh border on the Chirk akkiduck

Bright Nights

The little conifer tree that we keep from year to year on Christina and bring into Freyja around the 21st December to provide a waft of freshness and to mark the lengthening days, is now back in the greenhouse;  the seasonal decorations of holly and ivy have served their last function by providing some energy in the range for a mid-morning cup of coffee;  and all the shiny things have been packed away.  Their glitter is welcome on the dark evenings, so two years ago we didn’t pack away two strings of battery powered led lights, instead the Bloke arranged them in the display cabinets, where they make the crystal sparkle.  I know, that sounds hugely naff, but the brightness makes me smile.
