#Curtains – For Thursday Inspiration #136

It was the night before Christmas, the curtains pulled tight, our tree shone brightly with colourful lights. Mince pies were placed on a platter so Father Christmas would just have to get fatter. A key was hung by the door just in case he couldn’t get through the old fire grate. Sleeping impossible I justContinue reading “#Curtains – For Thursday Inspiration #136”
