Outhouse

Last day of 2019, and the doors and shutters are on, as are the lights. Vent roof cover still need attention.

New Neighbours

 The attraction, winter food. George perched on his front door twig.

Now over a dozen sparrows have take up residents in our hawthorn hedge. It is difficult to get an accurate count as they pop into one hole and exit though another!!!!  A lot of chattering at dusk.

Coppelia

A second opportunity to visit the ballet, Leo Delibes Cappelia by the Russian State Ballet of Siberia. Amazing performance with wonderful costumes. Altogether a lovely day in the capital and a night stay at the bay.

And on the Full Size

 A Swan Lake

and a wintry castle, Gek's first returns to the big canvas.

Plus a piece to keep us warm at night. Lovely

Making a Dozen

Boston Side Chairs, that is. Even after 12, there is not that 'perfect' one. Will there ever be? Probably not.
