The sight of 24 twinkling trees lining the drive to Blickling Hall in North Norfolk is magical. This is not all. Along with another 26 Christmas trees around the house and gardens, there are 19,000 lights decorating Blickling overall.
.
Season’s Greetings
Nach einem nicht gerade idealen Jahr in der Welt wünschen wir euch eine dennoch Frohe Weihnacht und ein Neues Jahr, in dem ihr alle euer Glück finden werdet.
After not an ideal year worldwide we wish you nevertheless a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May you all find what you need for your happiness.

Merry Christmas to you! Gewagte Farbe für ein Schloss! (oder was ist das Gebäude?) Gerade war sie mir etwas viel (in meinem Ballettsaal setzt Magenta deutliche Akzente, es schwingt hoch, dachte optimal für Tanz) deshalb zog ich mich ins Himmelblau zurück, kränkelte vor mich hin…
Juhu, rechtzeitig zu den Feiertagen erhebe ich mich wieder, wie es aussieht!
Freut Ihr euch noch nach Weihnachten über Geschenke?! Die steinige yellowbrigroad zur Poststation war zu weit…
Aber, jetzt wird es gehen!
19 000 Lichter – Zauberei?! Stromsparen ist da nicht…oder?!
Naja, my home is my castel, wir werden in der Odenwald-Hütte Kerzen anzünden und es uns gut gehen lassen, das ist der Plan!
Das Blinking Hall Foto und eure Weihnachtspost gefallen mir sehr, interessant wäre noch: Nehmen die normale Lichterketten oder haben die auch schon auf LED in bläulich-kalt-weiß umgestellt? Die sollen nicht so schnell brennen, im Kindergarten werden nur noch die verwendet.
Alles Liebe und ganz wundervolle, gemütliche und fröhliche Weihnachten euch allen!

Nee, zum Lichtfest wird nicht Strom gespart, ganz wie auch in Skandinavien.
Wir sind gerade damit zugange, Plätzchen zu backen – die erste Ration mampften Siri und Selma weg. Obwohl ganz ehrlich, die Kokosmakronen wurden zu trocken. Jetzt wird ein neues Rezept gerade von Selmalein fein ausprobiert.
Klar, wir lieben Geschenke und wie 😉 Das halbe Kaminzimmer liegt schon voller Geschenke, und es gehört die Energie eines Raubtierbändigers dazu, um unsere wilden lieben Buchfeen von ihren Geschenken fern zu halten.
Hyggelig gemütliche Ferien euch

thank you very much for all your good wishes. We are fine and full of thanks that we are so privileged not being refugees. In comparison to England quite some refugees are already integrated in Germany. Well, Germany can afford to do a lot for integration and needs a lot of new people for its industry. Companies were desperately looking for workers. That helps a lot.

Dear Leya,
from sunny and cold Norfolk lots of love and thank you for your good wishes for the world and us 🙂
You have been travelling the Amazon River, wow! We suppose you went by boat from Manaus. We read the diaries of Humboldt travelling this area as well. He complains nearly every day about all the flying and biting insects there. Well, you survived 😉
We wish you all the best, health and happiness for the New Year

I have a feeling I might have said that once before. If so, Please let me excuse myself with the rationalization that a new year is at hand.

Dear Steve,
never mind. Yes, Norfolk means the North Folk, because some think this was the place where the Vikings landed first in England. Anyway it’s was a Viking stronghold for quite a while.
Wishing you a Happy New Year as well

indeed, Blickling is worth visiting. We love its Jacobean-style, looks like a fairy tale castle. There are quite some Jacobean buildings around. We love those houses with a long history and a soul.

Dear Adrian,
don’t worry, we behind of everything as well. We were just too lazy and enjoyed it.
Now we are hoping for lots and lots of snow. Winter without snow is so un-romantic.
We had lots and lots of sunshine and it was more like spring but today the weather should change – well, we will see.
Thanks for your kind words, all the best to you and Chris

Good afternoon, dear Dalo,
for us part of the Christmas spirit is snow. But, oh dear, we had it sunny here until today but now the weather is forecasted to change. We very much hope for lots and lots of snow. We miss snow and ice very much here.
We love to celebrate all those German and Norwegian Christmas traditions. Around Christmas until Jan. 6th our whole house is changed. Especially Siri and Selma take care that we have lots of Christmas deco and that we bake and cook a lot and eat and drink too much 😉
We were used have Christmas in a cold season with lots of snow and ice. It’s strange to have a kind of springlike Christmas here. For you it must be even more drastic.
With lots of love and thank you
