| Village butcher |
There is a tradition around Normandy (and probably around the rest of france too) to have your window painted seasonally, the artist always signing in the corner. In our village the windows are decorated by a lady who drives around in her handpainted van. After a while as you see the different windows around the region you can start to recognise the various styles of the artists.

| The Deli |
The other businesses decorate their premises with sprigs of pine, bows and Santas.
Sometimes lots and lots of Santas..like an army of burglars scaling the building in full daylight!
This is a fashion which seems to have grown over the last ten years or so, I don't remember it being such a big thing before that. It's all very merry though.

| Sunset over Dieppe |
This week has been very cold, today as I left to go back to Brighton for Christmas the rain had been falling with a tinkling sound, and hitting the ground as ice, turning my brick courtyard into a skating rink. However as I cycled through Dieppe to the ferry the sun was setting over the town and bathing it in the most beautiful golden light.
Happy Christmas Everyone!!
