First Sunday of Advent










Some moments from the first Sunday of Advent - some with photos, some without.

♥ Last night's beautiful sky
♥ Seeing the Advent wreath at church
♥ Baking from one of my first cookbooks given to me by my Nana one Christmas
♥ Making mince pies in my Mum's old tins
♥ The first sherry of the season 
♥ The smell of unwrapped clementines
♥ A mild December canal walk 
♥ Reminding my teenager to open his Advent calendar...

Welcome this season of hope, joy, peace and love.

Thank you all for reading, commenting and following here this week. Have a great week xo
