A pause.

 I'm settled down in my living room, watching the wind and the rain outside. It isn't a day for going out.

 It might be a day for a cup of coffee and a chapter of 'Winter Solstice'. I'm rationing myself because it would be too easy to just read and read, and I want to make the book last!


I am going to be away over Christmas, so this will probably be my last post. 

Thank you for all the lovely posts, the interesting reading and the friendship.  I do wish all my friends, near and far, a blessed and peaceful Christmas, with moments to just sit and enjoy.

I know what you mean about rationing Winter Solstice to make the story last. I'm about half way, trying like you not to rush the pages.

Wishing you a Happy Christmas, and I hope your time away is one that blesses, comforts, and makes moments merry. Love to you, Barbara. xo
