In the winter time, I sometimes suffer from SAD (seasonal affected disorder) so to cheer myself up I like to have lots of lights on and candles in my house(using low energy bulbs of course)

 It is very cosy, especially because winter in the country can be so bleak at this time of year, with the mist and fog rolling across the empty fields and woodlands. The short days and long dark winter nights. We try to brighten things up a little bit with decorations around the home.

Fortunately,  I live in the village and sometimes I meet some of the locals in the supermarket and we can have a little chat together. The Church sometimes  have an open day, where people are invited to come in and have coffee and cake. There ypu csn meet people you may not have seen for a long time. 🙂

In the past, we used to go up to the city for a treat, a day out and visit the much larger Christmas Market, The Cathedral was all  lit up and carols were sung by the choir. They carried lanterns and dressed in old victorian style clothes it was very atmospheric!

Everything at that time was a little less expensive to buy. It was all about a great fun filled day and festivities.. The city also around that time had it's international food day, for tasting different dishes from all around the world, but now all that it is over, finished. Then in later times it had become more commercialised.

Today there is the cost of living crisis and so everyone has to be  careful. So no fun anymore! 😞😩
