Fantasy

... or reality? This is the view through one window after dark, so you can see Christmas lights on the magnolia outside overlaid with reflections from indoors in the window. It made such a lovely scene, I'd have liked to have walked into it, like going through the wardrobe into Narnia.

It was dark when I came home from spending the afternoon with our daughter and the grandchildren. Mrs B and I walked to the village play park, LMB on her scooter, and me carrying the Young Master in a sling-carrier (the best way to get him to sleep). Very windy, but not too cold.

LMB went on the "big kids'" swing for the first time. She held tight to the chains and kept saying, Higher, when we pushed her. Didn't risk too high, though, in case she forgot she mustn't let go. She also whizzed down the big slide on her back to make herself go faster. She's suddenly leapt a chunk older overnight! Yikes!!
