16th December 2011 Friday
Bright moments from today dispelling gloomy skies and the feeling of Christmas hurtling towards me unblinkered.....
the faces of two dear friends across the cafe table as we share mushroom and cheddar tarts and exchange sparkly bags of sweet smelling gifts.....
in my sister’s kitchen a big wok full of stir fried vegetables - purple, red and yellow glistening jewels, swirled with green pak choi and fat pink prawns - her surprise supper for us...... reward for stuffing my father’s Christmas letter into 150 envelopes......
a fire in the heart of their sitting room - flames leaping and laughing in a glass framed cabinet - keeping the night at bay - knitting us close.......
