14 January





one of my favorite gifts this year was an old-ish and very small copy of Dickens

A Christmas Carol from my daughter.

perfect reading material for climbing into a big comfy chair 

on these grey dreary days

with a cup of tea

    Simply Beautiful. I have never read the actual Dickens book, only seen the movies. I will put that on my ever growing list of books to read.
