The time is 23.55 gmt….the Advent Candle is nearly down to its last flickers..
A few more minutes and it will be Christmas Day. Time to celebrate.
I am mindful that not every one will be in a position to have a wonderful time…..but if like me you are fortunate to be able to enjoy the festivities, please spare a thought for those who cannot….and help if you are able.

DAVID OAKES - IMAGES. 
Well said David. May you and your family have a great Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. Thank you for your images which I enjoy every day, but mostly fail to tick as liked. I promise to do better in future!

Depends on your own wishes and what you see as ‘normal’. 😀 These days remind me I am lucky. We were ‘fed’ news yesterday about people getting into debts. The end of the story was to get a buffer. Having been on the dole myself for a long time I know it is impossible to create a buffer (money in the bank) because your income is too low for that. A growing number of people on benefits but also working people are poor these days. I am a pensioner now. I have a wee more now to spend and I could help friends with some extra luxuries they cannot afford. It was returning a favour as they were there when I needed help a few years ago. But a good feeling also.
Have wonderful days no matter how you fill ‘m. 🙂

Yesss, Sir!
Our Western coast has a gale today and they expect wave heights of 80-84 feet, but that is , of course, outside of the archipelago.
