There has been a long silence here; interestingly, several of the blogs I have been following for a long time seem to have been in a similar situation. Perhaps we have all reached the same stage in life
Anyway, my silence has been because my health has been slowly improving and with each improvement I have been doing more. Yippee. But not good for my blog.
I have visited friends in Holland and had a wonderful weekend in Canterbury. Recently I went to Chatsworth to see their Christmas Decorations. This year the theme was The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I took masses of photos but here a few just as a very small Christmas Card for any reader here. Sorry for the focus, but lighting levels were difficult and I only had a few seconds to take the photos.
We (the public that is) began by walking through a mock up of a house in World War II. Then through the Wardrobe:
Past the Lampost:
and various woodland creatures
and the Beavers’ House:
and onto Mr Tumnus’ house:
And so to the Wolves, under the orders of the White Queen:
The White Queen:
Aslan’s Base Camp:
Aslan dead on the Stone Table with mice moving and eating the ropes.
The return of Aslan
The Feast with the four children as Kings and Queens:
Through the pavilion:
To the Four Thrones
And lastly, a bad photograph taken by a stranger of myself and ex- daughter in law. The exposure was so bright that you could see next to nothing so I have had to change the settings, hence the odd colouring!! I am the one on the left as you look at the picture.
I hope you all have a peaceful and happy holiday.
Lovely Idea

Sweff, I would much rather hear that your health is improving than seeing a lot of blog entries. Have a very good 2014 in health and very other respect.
Like that shot of the two beautiful Queens at the end.

What a lovely thing to say, I really appreciate it. Thank you:) (I meant about the health, not the Queens) But thanks for the Queens comment also! All the very best to you and yours for 2014.
