"Nature is a language - can't you read? Nature is a language - can't you read?" The Smiths
This was our soundtrack for what my daughter described as a "film moment" when the snow began to fall on Christmas Eve as we danced back to the house with our Christmas Branch.
The Gamekeeper came by in a tractor to feed the pheasants, clearing a path through the snow to the woods.
So we collected a Christmas Branch and decorated it.
And gave the tractor-man a wee dram.
Christmas Eve: our "own" venison roasted in a pastry "huff", cabbage and roast potatoes. home-made mince pies.
And soon it was Christmas.
And FL opened his presents...
Happy Christmas to all of you from all of us!
Even the Christmas Elf.

It isn't every man y who gets a christmas beardwarmer with his hat ;0)
Well I have mixed feelings about The Smiths as the lad across the way at Uni (back in 1983/4) played their album constantly day and NIGHT with the extra special sound system that he had brought with him from home. It was the nights that put me off.
A belated Merry Christmas to you all and "A Very Happy, Much Better New Year!" It's got to be now.
The 'beardwarmer' makes it a complete Outfit...
