Tomorrow we have family coming round for Christmas Eve, which I am looking forward to. Christmas seems to have crept up on me this year. I hope everybody has a happy Christmas!

"Heaven...It feels like Heaven..."

"Heaven...It feels like Heaven..."
{Cheek to Cheek, Fred Astaire}.
 
Emily Bronte wrote that "You fight against the devil, for love, as long as you may; when the time comes, not all the angels in heaven shall save him!" It seems that Hell is the more interesting to write about, and for many, to read, yet Heaven is more desirable, don't you think?

I'm sorry my sets all seem to be the same colour lately!

"...when Sunday books had most of them old brown-leather covers, and opened with remarkable precision always in one place..."
"Surely all other leisure is hurry when compared with a sunny walk through the fields from 'afternoon church' - as such walks used to be in those old leisurely times, when the boat, gliding sleepily along the canal, was the newest locomotive wonder; when Sunday books had most of them old brown-leather covers, and opened with remarkable precision always in one place...Ingenious philosophers will tell you, perhaps, that the great work of the steam-engine is to create leisure for mankind. Do not believe them: it only creates a vacuum for eager thoughts to rush in."
 
{George Eliot.}
 
I hope my sets aren't getting monotonous.
 
I don't usually advertise, but this is a favour for Mangotine. She's starting a new group; please have a look: http://www.polyvore.com/mad_hatters/group.show?id=110593
