Yesterday was the first day of winter in the UK Met Office calendar; tomorrow is the first day of Advent in the Church calendar.
For me yesterday was the first day of Christmas. I opened the first door in the Advent calendar given to me in a timely fashion by friends on Thursday evening. It is a diptych by contemporary photographer, Matthias Ziegler. The left side is Cumulonimbus in South France, the right side, Aride Area in Turkana County. Perhaps worth saying Turkana County is in Kenya. I will tell you what’s behind the doors when I have opened a few more.
It was first day of Christmas for Bertie, too. He got a Christmas card from Bella & Duke. He wasn’t too bothered but he will enjoy the present they gave him.
