On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to meThree French hensTwo turtledovesAnd a partridge in a pear tree
The Twelve Days of Christmas start on Christmas Day and last until the evening of the 5th January – also known as Twelfth Night. The Twelve Days have been celebrated in Europe since before the middle ages and were a time of celebration. No French hens either, but I have selected 12 photos from December / January to get me through this period.

Are the three candles there to roast your three French hens? 😉
Could take a while!
Definitely! Just collect an egg or two then.
If I had thought about this more I could have looked for some hens, maybe not French, but I definitely have photos somewhere in the archives! I bet you have some French ones…
As I was telling Jo earlier, all my French photos are on an external hard drive which I can never be bothered to access. Must Try Harder.
I’m busy copying photos from an external backup drive onto another laptop as it is not accessible from the laptop I use, no idea why not, technology is a right pain! Best check yours is still working.
Oh Jude. Don’t say that. I shan’t dare even to look now!
I didn’t find French hens but French pipers: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2022/12/27/on-the-third-day-of-hogswatch/
Lovely idea for s series of festive posts, Jude. Belated Nadelik Lowen!
And you Sandra, hope all is well in your household.
I like the dreaminess of this and the floating blue ‘balls’.
Yes, interesting bokeh!
Very pretty.
This link works fine.
I’m glad you don’t have three French hens … your candles are way more beautiful!
