A carousel blurs lights and time. Imagination, woven into barley-sugar twists of gold, rides into adventure…
Step aboard a portal – to an enchanted forest? To Green Knowe? A visit to the Midnight Folk?
Bath Abbey and the Roman Baths huddle close to a Christmas tree; its branches draped in stars dropped by a forgetful sky…
A yew berry bides its time. An ancient in the making?

Cakes of Christmas Past, stirred through with memories. Decorated by my daughter…
The Cake of Christmas Present, waiting for dreams in sugar icing…
Journeys by the fireside… Dazzling tales of the yuletide spirit, courtesy of the man they called “Mr. Christmas”…
However you mark this time of year, have a happy, magical time…

I’ll have the horse bound for Green Knowe please! And “Imagination, woven into barley-sugar twists of gold, rides into adventure…” is just gorgeous. Thanks for all the words and shared posts, hope you float slumberly in Yuletime space while December is magic again…
Just stopping by for a seasonal sip of your words and pictures… And to wish you and your family a peaceful, joyful, loving Christmas. Amanda x
Arriving late, so I must wish a happy new year to you! Reading your seasonal wishes, and being engulfed by these magical pictures of silver and gold, however, make me wish Christmas turned around and was starting all over again! And with 12th night barely 24 hours old!
