Every year the Faulkner's (my in-laws) and their neighbours put up and light a festive tree in their combined courtyard at the Barn in Sheffield. I believe a few Carols and the consumption of hot toddies also takes place.
She's glowing this year
even under snow *****
I believe there is loads more snow than this now, with some of the European and English airports closed. (I received these photos above a couple of days ago from Kevin) I have a young 2nd cousin and her husband stranded in Singapore, as their plane for that special "northern hemisphere holiday with Gilly's eldest sister - Jo, my god daughter" couldn't land in Heathrow today because of too much snow.
This photo arrived overnight from Frank's brother, Peter - taken in their garden at Banbury, Oxfordshire, yesterday. Apparently some of the north did not get hit as bad as the south - near Heathrow and Gatwick.

And now the Snowy Mountains in both New South Wales and Victoria have been topped with snow - and it's mid summer in OZ - the forecast is for more snow on Christmas Day in the highlands - most unusual.
