Absolutely beautiful Beth, love the imagery and all the smells you’ve easily conjured of a day well spent doing something gorgeous. You need to work on liking Christmas cake! Delicious with a bit of blue cheese and a glass of port. X
What a gorgeous piece, as ever, Bethany. Is it weird that I could smell the rich fragrance of the cake as I was reading? I want this part of the year to slow down and to savour the darkness, to pay attention to the changes in the sky, but everything around me speeds up. Life demands of me to slalom into Christmas. Reading this helped me breathe out. Thank you.
I laughed at that image of slaloming into Christmas! I try to see wintering as an act of resistance/rebellion/dissent then it feels like a good cause I can throw my weight behind. Thanks for reading, as always x
A delicious piece, Bethany. How blessed you are to have such a mother-in-law. And daughter! I’m looking forward to a wee taste!
