Glowing Clouds

The lights of Monsaraz lighting up the overhead clouds on a cold, dark night; kept seeing it as we drove round, and eventually stopped hurriedly on the bridge to take a photo.

Went to visit Gören and Margareth, as we'd heard they were ill. Glad to find them a lot better. 

Oh yes, and last night, we watched "The Aeronauts", which totally confirmed the feeling I have every time I fly of what a privilege it is for us to be above the clouds - and in comfort. Loved the film, though had to cover my eyes at one point.

Gratefuls:
- third Sunday of Advent, a day for joy!
- walking down the road in front of the supermarket and finding beauty
- the life size Nativity scene in São Pedro, the pottery village - all the heads were made of pottery and the hands plaster of paris poured into rubber gloves - gotta admit, some of the figures looked hilarious
