On Christmas Eve, I was getting a bit restless sitting around, so I dragged my brother out with my for a walk to clear out the cobwebs. We went to nearby Honeychurch, then in a loop back to the village. I love how the English decorate their houses for Christmas - unlike the gaudy light shows that we get in Sydney, English houses and cottages are decorated with a simple but beautiful wreath. I like this better, the lights get a bit crazy in Sydney!

Someone in the village was also getting their thatch fixed, but the workmen had downed tools over Christmas when we wandered past.
