Love Christmas lights and this display is stunning, seen when coming and going through Exning, Lainey.
Don't know why front of building pic is so blurry and messy when view down side is so sharp. 
Umpteen attempts, but it just didn't improve.

(goes back to picture to examine double jumper) cool i have never seen a double jumper before @ampersand
1) getting time for coffee with 2 colleagues wrong - I was 2 hours too early which meant I was just in time for coffee with DrM and friends lol
2) then coffee at correct time with 2 colleagues which was every bit as enjoyable (I didn't tell them about my error!)
3) children out so just me and mum for tea though cooked enough for children in case they reappeared - christmas dinner take 2
4) then ds and gf arrived back from day in Aberdeen so they had christmas dinner take 2 then I flamed the pud (ds's gf is from china and it is a highlight for her but we were all too stuffed after christmas dinner take 1) - i didn't put enough brandy on and it went fut so then i put too much brandy on and ended up having to put a damp tea-towel over it!
5) and now i've bade them goodnight and listening to Ramblings - Camino Memories in Penicuik - BBC Sounds

For yesterday,

Waking up to the pleasurable knowledge that England had won the latest test although bizarre decision to play Carse at 3! Just pleased that DB & DN won’t be facing the possibility of a whitewash in the Sydney test.

Filled up the bird seeders, now that the apple tree has lost all its leaves you can see an old nest in its boughs, quite a big one so maybe Percy pigeon and his missus.

The broad beans are coming on well, am hoping for an early crop next year.

At the yard, the wind made it bitterly cold out in the paddocks but girlie was warm in her rug although keen to come in. Got her settled and had a chat with my neighbour, a young lad who works on one of the racing yards. It’s a tough life and he’s recently moved yards due to some pretty awful treatment by the trainer that simply wouldn’t be tolerated in other industries ☹️ 

The Yule candles were lit when I got home and all was cosy in our cottage, I do like these In between days.
