As we sat in the snug I became aware of the WILDLIFE in the garden.
I captured this robin and thrush from the comfort of the settee!
At this time of the year I love comfort food, my particular favourite is Welsh Rarebit!
Tasty and a great way to utilise the eggs the gals produve!

Finally, last night I captured my hens in their shed, huddling together keeping warm!
You are obviously headed for what must be an OLD Fashioned English Christmas - Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos.I particularly liked the patchwork collage. You could print those pics off onto fabric and make a Christmas quilt (yeh, like you've nothing else to do):D
ReplyDeleteDelightful collage Denise and I love the picture of the snoozing Frieda.
ReplyDeleteYour recipie sounds yummy. I may have to make me some for lunch.
Oh, I love this post - AND, I love Welsh rarebit! The day I arrived in Cardiff to meet my friend Jane, we went out for lunch and ordered it. mmmmm.....so good! And great for keeping warm in the winter. Your photos of the birds are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat robin! That rarebit! Two of my favourite things in one delightful blog. The rarebit doesn't quite suit our season, but I think I must make some soon!

What a lovely village. The photo of Frieda sleeping was so sweet. I too love Welsh rarebit, that sounds like something for dinner tomorrow night. Have a happy holiday season.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Loved the collage. Happy Holidays to you.
ReplyDeleteWe have no snow, though we had jsut enought o cause trouble for drivers last week. It can now hold off till after Christmas so we can get over the pass and back.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of the village, I enjoyed looking a the snow shots.And that recipe sounds so yummy and easy, will give it a try soon.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and New year. Keep yourself warm.
Lovely pictures, Denise. Yummy Welsh Rarebit!! Frieda must be so happy in her new home. And the beautiful robin, and a thrush...! This is a great post, along with all the beautiful snowy views. We are going into a 'cold' snap a high of 64 tomorrow and down to 45 tonight. We really complain, because our houses are not built tightly for cold weather.
ReplyDeleteI might try the recipe for the Welsh rarebit, but with Dutch cheese instead of Stilton. And worn-out Frieda looks happy in her sleep!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas from the Netherlands

ReplyDeleteThis is a great travel blog you have here. I have one myself which I hope to be a top resource for those looking to travel. We have a lot to cover and not that much time to do it. I was wondering if we could exchange links to help spread some traffic around. Please let me know if this is possible.
