Pretty lights are springing up

 Now December is here,

Pretty Lights are springing up everywhere. The main street of the town has formally declared Christmas is coming and the internet is jammed, presumably with people buying presents and goodies  in advance. The weather alternates between freezing the extremities and then days of 13 degrees C as we had yesterday which made the pigeons think it was spring and the males started
pestering the females. I did a spot of weeding in an attempt to keep the weeds down for the coming year. 

I'm still tracking my family tree and fascinated with the level of detail there is to be found. I discovered a great aunt I never heard of who died at 3 years 10 months old in 1871 - and found a picture of her headstone in Escomb cemetery. Her parents were married in Escomb Parish church, which I think is the old Saxon church. I didn't know that when I visited there years ago.

Chasing ancestors is a fascinating hobby.
