A very quick look at the 1,000s of decorations for sale in a nearby village gift shop/cafe which every year turns into a shop selling the biggest collection of beautiful Christmas bits and bobs in Mid Suffolk.
Every shape, every colour - you name it they have it. Just three photos but you get the gist!
I always wonder how long does it take to get them all set up like this? after clearing away most of their usual stock. Do they keep what isn't sold somewhere from one year to another? They surely can't sell everything?
Questions, questions, questions!.................... but it does look exceedingly Christmassy and brings people from miles around to their shop/cafe/hairdressers and the adjacent homeware/garden store/hardware/builders supplies business with many other small businesses in units in their yard.
All starting nearly 70 years ago with a small second-hand shop in a house. I remember going there with Dad as a child and buying a little suitcase which I used for doll's clothes for many years.

Yesterday's coffee for day 10 of advent was back to Dark Roast - enough for more than one cup. I'm adding the extra of the ordinary coffees I don't use each morning into my usual Aldi ground coffee packet - my 24 days will be enough for several more days.
Yesterday was my 1,000 game of NYT Wordle - it told me I had a 1,000 Wordles Badge! and a 98% win rate.
I play it when having breakfast, which is why my laptop gets sticky from marmalade! and also do the Connections (failing often), Pips, (only the easy one) and Strands. I used to do the mini crossword but they made that subscribe only.
Christmas cards are posted and friends from Essex visited in the afternoon - good to catch up.
