It is only a few weeks now to Christmas - time seems to be flying by and we shall soon be in a new year, 2012, before we know it.
The weather has got a bit colder now in the South East, the weather had been quite mild for October and the start of November, but now you can smell the wood smoke in the air as people light their fires, and feel that chill in the tips of your fingers and toes. The Christmas adverts are starting with vigour now on T.V. and I know that the shops will soon be blasting out the Christmas carols and songs.
I too, as you know from an earlier blog, have been busy preparing for Christmas events since the end of Summer, and things are beginning to come together now. I aim to blog in my next one about what I will be putting on for all of you locals and visitors alike. In the meantime I just wanted to mention some new readers who have joined me from Latvia, Slovenia, The Philippines, Switzerland, Bosnia & Herzegovina, South Korea, Malaysia and from Ireland - welcome and enjoy!
In my research for my Christmas Lantern Lit walks, about Christmas traditions, that will be taking place through December in Tunbridge Wells, it's amazing how varied the traditions are that we all take for granted, and of course every country celebrates in many different ways - so here's my appeal to you my dear readers - please leave comments with descriptions of traditions that you celebrate at home or in your country. Would be fantastic to hear and to share with all. Thank you!
