A Kiss of Life-Light

The Traveller has put the first felt toy up on our heirloom Advent calendar, and so begins the annual family ritual which conjours up so many happy memories.

We’ve also received our second Advent email this morning from Brian Draper – he started a day early this year – and in it he talks about the apricity of the winter sun, which he describes as a kiss of life-light from our Creator.

I took this photo on our afternoon walk as we faced the setting sun. The air was bitterly cold, but the sun’s rays lit up the Green and picked out the gold and russet tones of the remaining leaves on the trees.
