MY WORLD ~ Moving Towards Christmas

Christmas is definitely on the horizon when our little township

puts on its street party early in December. There usually is a

street parade with a fire engine and decorated everything from

the ambulance down to littleies with tinsel on their tricycles.

There are food and drink stalls for charities and everyone

has a bit of fun. This deliciously dressed up young lady chose

to pose for me. Don't you just love the smile for the camera?

Today we had occasion to go into the metropolis for a few

necessities, right over to the other slightly seedier part of town.

I must say we had a whale of a time!

One of the major breweries always puts on quite a Christmas

fairyland display on the riverbank below the brewing works.

I hope you noticed the whale actually spouting water.

Dorothy and her companions are there as well as Humpty-Dumpty

precariously perched on his wall.

A mill with a rotating water-wheel, magic mushrooms and

fairies and Vulcans forge smoking at intervals.

Many other things as well as Father Christmas in his sleigh with

all the reindeer pulling as hard as they can and getting nowhere.

I had seen this all before in its dormant state so I was glad we

stopped and enjoyed all the workings for a little while.

To all of you out there flapping your wings in cyber space,

A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS

Stay well, stay happy, stay safe if you are travelling and above

all, LOVE EACH OTHER!

A big thank you to the MY WORLD Team for steering us safely

through another year of sharing what is dear to our hearts.
