To Bathe






I washed my ever longer hair and self today before going out. It is not something I do when it is as cold as it is now, esp with long wet hair and open pores. It feels very vulnerable to the elements. I have been a bit chilly since. My hair takes so long to dry since I do not use a hair dryer.
But I wanted to be clean before X mess eve and going to Hexham to begin the celebration with Noah. We are cooking together tomorrow a leg of lamb and veges, gravy, chestnuts, brussels, minty peas, wow the works! On Christmas Day we celebrate at Sheep Cottage with salmon cooked in a Swedish way and X mas pud, giving gifts and staying warm and cosy.
This year per usual we do not overdo the holiday thang. We eat together, share a few gifts, a fire, serve the cats chicken in front of the fire, a walk, a read, chatting and maybe a game...Very relaxed and that is the way I like it.
It is so beautiful outside with all the white snow, it really adds to the mood and makes it much lighter out.
Only the cats spend too much time indoors because of the cold and they get cottage fever.
Well the X mas wash made me think of bath rooms and it is something I dream of. Apart from the library, and the country kitchen I dream of a bathroom where I could soak in a bath tub for hours!
So I decided to post some inspirational pics.
Light candles and count your blessings.
