I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

We’re home…and it’s December already

 

Which means it’s time to begin my Christmas Journal.  I particularly love Shimelle’s Manifesto for 2010.

Our Christmas season got off to a grand start last night, in Cheltenham Town Hall where the Gloucestershire WI choir were in fine voice and Lee Mead was a charming and very talented special guest.  You can read more here.

I’ve written before about the pleasure I take in recording the days.  My photo of the day continues, I’ll love keeping a record of this Christmas nearly as much as looking through the books of Christmases past and of course, I write the occasional blog post about things I’d like to remember.  There are so many encouragements out there to do these things.  In addition to Shimelle’s Journal Your Christmas, there’s also Jessica Sprague’s Inspiration Everywhere, and Ali Edward’s December Daily. Helen emailed me about Blipfoto, thinking (correctly) that it’s right up my street, too, and yesterday I followed a link to reverb10, which could be another distraction! 

I know my limits though, so for now, I’ll try to simply keep up with what I’m already doing rather than take on more.  But who knows, perhaps it will soon be time for another challenge?

I was in the Town Hall too, but too far back for pics. What a fantastic voice Lee has and the Dancers were great. I have already downloaded Jerusalem so it won't count for the Christmas number one. The Harmonies were good too. Jenny from our Institute was in the choir and looked like she enjoyed it all.

Great evening!
