Our 3rd and 4th weeks of advent/advent spiral/winter solstice



"The third light of Advent is the light of beasts.
Animals of farm, field, forest, air and sea.
All await the birth in greatest and in least."



Feasts for the birds.






and for the little squirrels in the house.


"The fourth light of Advent is the light of humankind.
The light of love, the light of thought, to give and to understand."

On the evening of winter solstice we love to walk our advent spiral in the woods. Seems like the perfect setting and perfect day. A treasured evening for us.



We've had snow the last two days. A gentle covering.


Everywhere looks so beautiful so we've been walking and playing out and neglecting our Christmas planning which I am leaving to the fairies to organise for me!

  7. Good evening Kelly

    Oh my so much has happened since my last visit. I cannot believe the patterns the frost makes on windows...never seen that before. Your snowy pic's look peaceful. I have spotted some rosehips and will definitely make some tea and syrup. My Brogan would love that. I am sure those fairy's have some wonderful plans to help you out this Christmas... How wonderful to be so free. Enjoy your lovely days my friend. I will send you a merry Christmas mail soon.

    Warm wishes to the free flowing little men.

  12. I am so enjoying your blog - just found it today. We are waldorf-inspired home educators and where we live in Norfolk it is hard to connect with others of a similar inclination, so happy to have found an English blog to follow along. (Assuming you are in England?)
