… the season, whether for you it’s the Solstice, Saturnalia, Yule, Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa.
Being European, I’ve gone for Christmas, and this robin who lives in our neighbourhood may well have been posing all month to feature on local Christmas cards.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
Bonne fête Margaret, that is indeed a cute robin, showing off its beautiful plumage. May 2023 bring us all memorable moments and joy. 🙏🥳✨🕊️

Ah! An English Christmas. Will you celebrate twice by going back for Reyes?

That was a plan but with all the upheavals Los Reyes might have to be in London!

That’s OK. You might come across the Spanish Choir. I saw a poster for its villancicos concert in Lewisham too late to participate. Surely they’ll ‘do’ Los Reyes?
