 Sun, rain, sun, rain - and a rainbow. Starting the day with a promise.

The only downside to being invited out for Christmas dinner is the paucity of excellent leftovers on Boxing Day. But we did anticipate this and roasted a large chicken on the weekend in order to freeze most of it for after Christmas meals. And then there are sweets and wine and a gift of shortbread. Not suffering.

Rain intermittent but cosy inside and a surfeit of books to read. As Christmas should be.
