Winter Work In Progress...

Hi folks...it's back to being a Winter Wonderland in my neck of the woods...
falling a little bit short of the "severe weather warning/batten down the hatches" 2 feet of snow that Storm Clodagh was supposed to drop on the UK...seriously there's not even enough to make a decent snowball and before all this politically correct BS of giving the weather a name...a light dusting of snow was a sign that WINTER was on it's way...plain and simple...no need for hysterical dramatics. And while I've got my Moaning Minnie hat on...I can't help but mention the whole Black Friday/Cyber Monday fiasco...we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK thank you very much so why suddenly are British companies bombarding us with constant TV ads and never ending e-mails...it would be laughable if it wasn't so darned irritating. 
So in anticipation of the approaching "STORM"...we retreated to the cubbyhole and looked out the hard hats, hi-viz jackets, Ryman's A4 480gsm Art Card...perfect for this type of project and my can't live without
to make a start on our Winter Village project. I know what you're thinking...one house and a church can hardly be described as a "VILLAGE" but hey in this world of PC gone bonkers...if you can't beat them....join them
let's just say it's the start of a new Christmas tradition...an ongoing work in progress...adding a few more throughout the coming years until I run out of space on the Christmas mantlepiece...that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it...



In the meantime...it's back to the Christmas card making marathon...
