Straight after school, quick change and on with the wellies. The girls and I set off to get holly, pine boughs and ivy to deck our tiny halls with. What with the rain that we have been having the paths were stupidly muddy and the waterfall by us was in full roaring spate. Alas, no pic - next time maybe. Four year old twins and the waterfalls don't go in my opinion.
Off up the back mountain, quite a trek for tiny Lily, but she managed and we got a basket load of bright berries and boughs. With time for a choccie break. It was very cold up there and by the time we had dawdled our way back down the hill, it was getting quite dark, but it was so peaceful up there too. Just the wind and the sheep and the first stars seeing us home.

I can't adequately express how I love to read about where you live. Your descriptions and photos are such that you really should be working for the tourism agency.
YOU are the only person I know that does not buy their christmas decs from a store MAD WOMAN!!
Sounds like a beautiful place.
Your girls are beautiful Sian.
Once again two simple paragraphs take me on a journey across the pond. You have such a wonderful way of painting a picture with your words.
Such lovely little girls, all bundled up. I would love to see that waterfall sometime! It was freakishly warm here in the mountains today, high 60's which is rather odd.
Sian- You will treaure that memory- and the picture in a few years. They are such lovely children.
Just like mum!
