January 2023

January 2nd and I am ready to relax. Now don’t get me wrong I had plaenty of opportunity to relax over the Christmas period. However, now that normality is starting again I want to chill out and do nothing.

Those christmas decorations are not coming down until at least the 8th of January. In fact those decoartaions which come out on the 1st December will be the last to be boxed. sometime in mid January.

Once the decoartions have been put away I leave a week before I bring out different candle holders, differnt glass dishes, different throws. Theses are the winter items which will be around the house until the end of March. these items have warm tones whcih seem to wrap the house in warmth.

Winter glassware.

I heard someone in the pharmacy yesterday, talking about preparations for Easter in April. It was making her feel good to look forward to longer evenings and warmer days.

Just as well we are all different and can see joy of life in various different ways. For me it is making little changes to differnetiate the seasons. Before anyone says that Spring begins in Febraury I prefer Spring starting in March thus following the Astronomical calendar. It somehow feels correct for me.

But for now I will enjoy the Christmas decorations.

Happy New Year.
