Your eyes were deighted by holly green and berry red, by flickering gold over branches brown. I thoroughly enjoyed the revisit to Tove Jansson. I have had the privilege this holiday of looking at (not reading sadly as it is po Svenska) her writing. <br />When she was a young girl, my mother-in-law wrote to Tove and was sent back a hand written and illustrated letter. Tove lived close to where Muni grew up and was a part of all Finnish children's lives. She had a firm and beautiful hand and the understanding that a child should be replied to with the same seriousness and the letter they sent.<br /><br />If you can find them her other adult novels are well worth reading and I am particularly fond of<br />The True Deceiver. This has a passage on painting that is beautifully described.<br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/dec/12/true-deceiver-tove-jansson-review<br /><br />With all the best wishes for the new year.<br />Charlotte.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06204546941269120909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-60694260410591312632011-12-27T16:53:14.394+00:002011-12-27T16:53:14.394+00:00Happy Christmas Rima, and thank you for the beauti...Happy Christmas Rima, and thank you for the beautiful photos and story.

We have been barraged all day by teeny white pellets that lie on the ground pretending to be snow. Just a degree below freezing here in North Tx in the early hours of Christmas morning. It's been cold and rainy here -- not too keen on the cold part, but the rainy bit was welcomed with open arms.
