O Little Town of...

Monsaraz, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep 
The silent stars, and moon and Jupiter, go by.

Utterly still and beautiful, on its hilltop.

(Cheating with a photo from last night, but will go by the same place tonight, and maybe replace with one taken tonight... just, we'll be late back, and don't want to turn laptop on.)

Wishing all you lovely Blipper friends a Christmas with lots of good moments, whatever you will be doing, and whether alone or with people you love - or don't!

Gratefuls:
- church this morning, and meeting Garibaldi from Angola
- Mike getting a haircut (much needed)
- stunning light and views on the Lula walk just now
