Christmas

[Erichalfbee]

Christmas Avatars?
Anybody like to change theirs for December?

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

This is a sight people won't be enjoying at 6am Christmas morning


But at least I won't be starting to light them at 0530!

 

[Erichalfbee]

Yes it will be a strange Christmas for a lot of folk.

Candles in a Welsh Chapel? Isn't that a bit papist?

Not when it's five in the morning and the nearest source of electrickery is three fields away

Must be a bit chilly - or maybe you fire up a pot-bellied stove?

I usually light the fire a few days before Christmas and keep it in until Christmas morning just to take the cold edge off.
Good Welsh Anthracite.
Hard coal won from the ground by even harder men.

Many a time has that been a welcome sight.

Thats the Davaar Island light - at the mouth of Campbeltown Loch.
The fire in your pics must also be a welcome sight early in the morning - made me smile and feel warm.

Are they still mining anthracite? That's what we used to fire our Esse solid fuel cooker, living rurally as a child two miles outside Carmarthen, late '40s. My mother, born an urban Lancastrian, found it difficult to cope with the lifestyle change.

I’ll change mine to this one. Each year I make a table arrangement for my Mum. She used to make one for hers. Hopefully my daughter might make one for me one day....

Ha! - he used to live just down the road in Amanford my mother nursed his mother in her final days - right arrogant and ignorant soandso

Mine is also my Xmas card. Took the photo of one of my bees foraging on Lavender in the summer.
