Busy, busy, busy.

I've just finished this stained glass panel and i'm waiting for some more pieces to come out of the kiln.

These two are waiting to go into the kiln.

So busy,busy,busy.

I still have Christmas presents waiting to be wrapped. I'm trying to do the wrapping in the evening' when the light is not good enough for working on the glass.

As an antidote to the early darkness I have been lighting candles in the evening. I love the light that candles give but I can't be trusted with an advent candle. I lit it last night and I was determined to keep an eye on it and oh dear I let it burn to the 24th.

TRIP TO BRUGES.

What a beautiful place Bruges is.

We spent many a happy hour mooching around the streets admiring the pretty houses and popping into cafes to sample the delights of hot chocolate and waffles.

The photo above is of the ice skating rink in the centre of town.

We didn't try the ice skating but we did try the yummy beverages on offer nearby ( hot chocolate and Baileys tasted very festive )

We stayed in the Hotel Patritius a fantastic place right in the centre of town.

So many chocolate shops!!

In the evenings we would find a bar and try some of the beers.

Bruges is definitely worth another visit.
