We’re in such a windy spot here in the Vienne. Every barn door has a few stones after some nights of listening to doors rattling in the early days! Thank you so much for reading.
Waouh this is such a beautiful story, so optimistic! It's so refreshing to read stories about people enjoying alone a special tradition, besides so many big-family-gatherings stories. 💕
I love that there is more than one way to celebrate ... I love that there are two sides to this coin ... so often we make assumptions that solitude is the same as loneliness. I want to read more happy tales, uplifting stories of hope and optimism. There’s more than enough darkness around. Sending best wishes for a hopeful and optimistic new year.
A beautiful story. As I've gotten older, I've come to realize what the holidays are truly about: finding joy amid the chaos of life and appreciating the relationships I've forged and kept. There is truly no greater gift. I hope the holidays have been bringing you joy and comfort.
Love this. These amazing words paint such vivid pictures it feels like I am there.
I wove your love of A Christmas Carol in there!
Such a great Writing
Thank you. That is very kind. Happy Christmas
Atmospheric and gentle, beautifully painted! Joyeaux Noel! X

Merry Christmas, Barrie! A lovely little tale without question. 😊🎄
We all need heartwarming hope and optimism 💛
Lovely descriptions, I could really see it in my mind’s eye. The stone to keep the door sturdy shut reminded me of the days on the farm growing up 💚

I remember us doing similar things or listening to things banging outside as a child. Very descriptive 💚

Wonderful perspective! For fewer assumptions and more acceptance and happy solitude tales! Happy holidays to you too! 🎄✨️

Thank you for reading, David, and for sharing those thoughts - 'finding joy' ... and 'appreciating' - powerful watchwords.
We're having a very peaceful time; time spent hanging out with friends and now back home, the fire heating our toes just whiling away the day. Bliss.
That story is just perfect. Keep going Barrie
That’s so kind, thank you, Alison. Very encouraging
Lovely!
Ah, you found one of my favourites. Thank you
