Our early white Christmas on the Apley Estate

Just wishing you all a very Happy Christmas with these images of the early white Christmas we had on 10 Dec. Ian Edwards works on the Apley Estate farms & sometimes carries his camera as he goes about the estate. He’s just shared his latest beautiful photos.

Please note all parts of the Apley Estate are strictly private at all times.

Here’s also my favourite 2017 cartoon by Michael Leunig (I requested permission to share it). It makes me laugh every time I look at it 🙂

In the run up to Christmas, I picked out these 2 quotes from a couple of emails from other mothers, trying to juggle satisfying everyone all the time ! They also made me smile !

“Do hope you are all well and loving the run up to Christmas (confess, I’m not sure I am – must remember to try to).”

“Hope all festively well in everyone’s lives. I am feeling mild panic mixed with traditional seasonal resentment at having to do/spend so much – so business as usual for December!”
