Wordless Wednesday: Solstice Sunset
After a few overcast days, the sunset of our shortest day was filled with light and made for a scintillating Winter Solstice.
We are now taking a short blogging break and will be back on Wednesday 29th December 2021.
Wishing you all a blessed week and for those of you who celebrate, a blessed Christmas too!
With love from Xenia xxx
