Christmas Eve in the Village!

• My elderly neighbour trundles down the footpath on his tractor delivering presents for Christmas.
• As I put return the hens to their coop for the evening I realise the rabbit is hopping round the hen enclosure unperturbed. He jumps happily into his hutch when I place his food there.
• It is brought home to me as I walk round the village delivering cards and chattering just how many people there are for whom Christmas this year will be a sad time full of memories or fear for the future. Peace be with you all!
