Indy has now steamed past the half-way point and is well on his way to Bath, walking through rain, snow, sleet and howling winds. Please support him and his very important cause if you can!

That dusk, in the dark drawing room, Old Fox lit the beeswax candles on the spruce tree for the last time & the ghosts of the past & of those yet to come stepped forward, held in their spun-gold for a brief weighted moment, for the end of Yuletide is leaden with time, with the fugacity of all things

#OldFoxAdventCalendar
The Twenty-second Window. The Little Girl had spent so many Christmases ill or convalescing in bed, it had become a family tradition to decorate a tree in her room, usually by the long windows which looked out over the parkland. That year, her bed was made neatly in the morning & only slept in at night, and she was well enough to help her Aunt. Together they dressed the little spruce with all their favourites – sweet oranges studded with cloves, scarred & play-worn wooden penguins and foxes & ermines & doves from the nursery chest, a battered old train engine once owned by her father, a dozen bold flags of elven-realms, strings of dried apples from Old Fox's orchards, baubles & pom-poms & festoons of paper flowers, delicate Japanese chōchin from Liberty's, a papier-mâché model of Felix the Cat and a protective fairy queen, dressed in silver brocade & carrying a wand of gilded hazel.

The Eighth Window. It was very cold outside, drifts of snow in the lane, and whilst Old Fox was busy in the Great Woods, Pine Marten and Wolf had settled themselves by the roaring fire with the biscuit tin and a pile of jigsaw puzzles. 
There was a wonderful selection in the cottage, entire cupboards were dedicated to them in the parlour and the lower attics. There were fierce Norsemen and love-lorn knights-errant and princesses wreathed in apple blossom crowns, there were steam ships and locomotives and stage coaches, charming views of Fairyland and wistful Rococo picnics, dozens of brightly-coloured scenes of Shakespeare and Dickens and Chaucer, romantic American views – ice skating on the Hudson! the retreat from Lexington! The first Christmas in the New Republic! 
There were famous gardens of Devon, with borders bustling with lupins and foxgloves and hollyhocks, and still lifes of oranges and lilac blossoms and chocolate pots, there were cathedral closes and London railway stations and Scottish islands, portraits of French actresses holding enormous bouquets of pink roses and Gibson girls skiing and yachting and playing golf, and a parade of flappers driving different motor cars and lounging around on the French Riviera. 
But that cold, snow-bound morning both Pine Marten and Wolf picked wintry puzzles to do. Wolf laboured away at "Bob Cratchit's Christmas Dinner" and Pine Marten tackled "The Christmas Waits". The latter, with its charming group of west gallery musicians, looked very much like the bright, festive eves of their own village and as such, it filled Pine Marten with a warm feeling of almost unbearable happiness as the old-fashioned picture slowly emerged.

#OldFoxAdventCalendar
Advent Sunday. At dusk, in the deep blue light, under a halfwaxen moon, Old Fox quietly left the cottage. He was carrying a tangled wreath of newly-cut holly and ivy and laurel-bay leaves to the Sheep Church, a Chapel of Ease up on the Downs, a lonely, wild place close to the sea. Few visited there.
It was dark in the little church with a faint scent of centuries-old cloves and frankincense, and when he lit the first of the four advent candles, the light was miracular: golden and vast in the ancient shadows. It is for Hope, he told the ghosts there, for Hope.

Erika Kirk said, through tears, that she forgave her husband's murderer. As far as I can see, the men there said the total opposite, with calls for punishment and fights and martyrs... THIS is how these men protect women. Not through listening to what we want but using us as a reason to fight.
