It's hard to believe we're in December and the countdown to the big day has commenced. Albeit we've been bombarded with Christmas music and adverts for several weeks.
Yesterday morning, while getting prepared to head down to Coney Island, I listened to one of the editors of 'Underneath the Tree' talking about our gorgeous anthology on BBC Radio Ulster.
It's still available to purchase and would make a lovely gift.
My cranberry and orange muffins were just the perfect accompaniment to coffee in Coney while we shared our writing highlights of the year, and helped get us in the festive mood.
This year we were able to meet together and enjoy a Christmas meal, (which was a veritable feast), and was all the more special, because we'd not been able to get together last Christmas. And while it was cold outside (and chilly inside due to good ventilation!) our hearts were warmed by the good cheer. Our writing group is such a blessing - supportive, encouraging and welcoming.
Later, a trip to Antrim's Enchanted Winter Garden helped to work off some of the calories. It was magical and the perfect finish to the day. I felt as if I had been transported into a fairytale.
