Outside ...

... it is so cold today, but oh so beautiful.

 Jack Frost has painted everything in sparkling white.

 The oak trees look magical,

 the ice crystals are as spiky as the brambles they decorate

 and the teasels are draped in frozen cobwebs.

 Truly a winter wonderland!

 Inside ...

... keeping warm with my two cats, I have unwrapped the Christmas decorations

 and placed them on the tree.

 More decorations are going up today.

As well as decorating, I have been enjoying more of Laalaa's Advent Swap with my swap partner Ellie :-
