We visited the Christmas market and shops again today - here are some of the tempting goodies but I managed to keep the credit card in my wallet most of the d

December 6th is St Nicholas’ day and we saw him abseiling down the belfry of the town hall.
However, the most powerful images today were nothing to do with Christmas but they did constantly remind me of yesterday’s message about debt - debt to people. We visited one of the first World War museums: it was the extensive underground workings built to attack the German lines and force them away from Arras. But the details are unimportant. What came across was the horror of these times. Returning then to the bright lights and happy people at the fair reminded me how much we owe to those who gave so much.
Tomorrow: eating together - should be a little easier!

Fabulous mouth-watering photos -almost food-porn!
Made an attempt at the real Christmas tree idea -that is to say I bought a small one for my Mum!
The rest of the day's thoughts are more challenging. I know I won't wish I'd spent more time in the office, but in my world I feel chased by sins of omission all the time.Time set aside for office tasks get highjacked by the needs of real people -which is how I want it to be -but then in the late evening do I sit down with the family or the computer? You may laugh -but leaving stuff undone is easier said than done!
