So for the first time in ages, I had a lot of nice things to take pictures of for this month's #1day12pics challenge!
1:: Painswick
2:: Toy Dresser
My Dad bought this for me when I was a child, I think on a business trip to Austria. I thought it was quite dull when I was younger, but now I love it and it sits in the room I stay in when we visit my parents.
3:: Chocolate Log Cake
My Mum's chocolate log cake is legendary and one of Mr DI's favourite things about Christmas here in the UK. It's a recipe she got from her mother, which she makes in October to allow the fruit cake enough time to mature.
4:: Frosty Leaves
We went for a walk in the afternoon. At this time of year the sun doesn't rise too far over the hills on each side of the valley so frost can linger for days...
5:: Golden Woods
Winter sun reflecting on the trees as we walked through the woods...
6:: Painswick Beacon
This was our destination: an Iron Age hill fort with incredible views right over to Wales
7:: Holly
We saw a lot of holly with berries, which is pretty unusual. Perhaps it's the warm autumn we had this year?
8:: Mince Pies
Post walk refuelling!
9:: Celebration
Toasting our new house with a glass of Prosecco!
10:: Early Christmas Dinner
Candles, crackers and all!
11:: Advent Candle
We burn the candle a little each night throughout the weeks leading up to Christmas...
12:: And...relax!
Bunny slippers and the papers ~ bliss!
See what others got up to during the challenge here.
