We wish to thank all of those who visit us here in the Hollow.
Thank you for your kind comments and for taking the time to peek in on us when ever you are able. We hope you will continue!
You can view in the larger window, but the photos seem to blur a bit when viewed large. I am still trying to figure this thing out!
The Beautiful music is called: Dues Meus Adiuva and played by Wendy Barlow on harp and Bill Bellamy on hammered dulcimer.
All photos were taken here in the Hollow and Manor, by Amateur Photographers, James (Lord of the Manor), and Mistress of the Manor, me.
"The Christmas day is dawning;
Our carols now we sing;
And pray the coming season
May peace and gladness bring.
To every one, and all of yours,
We wish a merry day,
And hope some of its pleasures
Through all the year may stay."

Now, I must dash! I have to go and watch my FAVORITE rendition of "A Christmas Carol" with Albert Finny as Scrooge.
"God Bless us, every one!"
Dear Jeri,

Dear Jeri ~ What a lovely treat this was. I sat here with a wide smile on my face and tears in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and James and all of your critters there at the Manor in Hopalong Hollow a joyous Christmas and a wonderful new year.
What a pretty sideshow! I can imagine it's very pretty now in the hollow.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever done a calender? I actually did a search to see if you had one because I was looking for a wall calender and thought one with your art would be perfect.
Have a Merry Christmas!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful town with photos. The music was outstanding! In my second life I will play a dulcimer.
ReplyDeleteDear Jeri
ReplyDeleteOh how I enjoyed viewing your beautiful Manor. What a warm and inviting home. That was such a treat.. How in the world did you manage to put the stars waaaaaaaaay up there? Oh my! Wishing you, James and all your furry companions a wonderful Christmas.
You are such an inspiration to me. Wait until Anita see this and hears the sweet sounds of the harp... She will love it.
Thank you for all of your most welcome visits and kind words..

JERI!!! Ohhhhhhhh, I think I had TOO many Speculaas tonight as well...I knocked out on the couch and I am here to visit with you and THANK YOU FOR COMING not once, but TWICE TO NOWHERE! BRAVO TO YOU for all of your fine accomplishments throughout the years, and for sharing with US, your fans, who love your world. Tea and Rattus are all tucked in now, having had much success tonight and enjoying the afterglow of such dear friends!
ReplyDeleteBLESSINGS TO YOU AND THE FURRY ONES AT THE FARM!!! BISES, Anita
How wonderfully enjoyable! On a practical note, you may find that increasing the pixel (file) size of your photos (from the camera menu) makes larger viewing less blurry, but I liked seeing it all in miniature anyway. A peaceful Christmas to you all from the snowed in Cotswolds.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful slide show Jeri. The music is so wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours and of course the girls and all of the critters a Wonderful Christmas!

Dear Jeri,
ReplyDeleteA very big thank you for coming by my blog and leaving a comment~ I would never have found your wonderful place, if you hadn't! I'm so glad to meet another tree lover, and you dress up chickens, too!! :)
My family and I would love to come visit your little homestead; we're planning on buying land in the Ozarks and settling there as soon as we can, and have lots of animals, too.
