Seasons to be cheerful

Day 191
28 November 2009
This first picture is a bit confusing to me. My daughter is sitting down, wearing a t-shirt and jeans; and my husband is standing up wearing layers upon layers and a hat.
She loves wearing this t-shirt. Later on, it got splattered in mud as she tumbled over into a muddy patch of grass. She wears that t-shirt in the foulest of weathers. I think it makes her feel warm and sunny, because it's a summer carnival t-shirt that she obviously relates to. It is not unusual for her to look out of the window at the rain and the wind, and comment on what a beautiful day it is. I love her optimism! Here, she is genuinely warm and full of energy, running about in the cold, and refusing to put on a coat.

We went to Durlston with our friends this morning. Later on we went to Corfe Castle for the Christmas lights switch-on, which was a wet event. In fact, it was soaking wet, pouring with rain, and cold. We stayed in the Greyhound and had a gorgeous meal, briefly stood outside to watch the lights come on, and then returned to the pub.
These photos really don't do the village justice - it looked beautiful. I will go back another evening when it is not wet!
