Festive pancakes on a peaceful Advent Sunday ..

Do you find it is so hard to co-ordinate schedules of various friends this time of the year? 

Get togethers are very random - a pub for lunch, a quick mooch with lists, a breakfast if lucky & even pancakes first thing on a Sunday morning so you can both complete the festive lists. 

It is the last Sunday of Advent & the fourth candle for PEACE will light our breakfast. It will burn alongside HOPE, LOVE and JOY, important symbols this time of the year in a world that is still in turmoil. 

The table was set the night before so the fruit can be prepared & the pancakes made first thing in the morning. The poinsettia table cloth & red chargers go well with the things already on the sideboard.  

Early morning pancakes made (I didn't do a photo as we all got talking) but tea, fruit juice, pancakes, lots of fruit & a choice of yoghurts made a healthy choice ahead of the festivities. 

The 4th Advent candle was lit alongside the other three & it was time to catch up with each others busy lives.  The hyacinth in the green vase will not be ready for Christmas but then the pleasure in watching it is something I enjoy. The greenery came from our lovely walk in Wales last weekend & it is perfect for winter when it is traditional to bring in greenery - the words of the famous carol - The Holly & The Ivy comes to mind ... 

Have a blessed last Sunday before Christmas, 

Dee 🎄🕯️🥣
