Wildlife artist. Love music, nature and being grumpy. Not keen on tories, trumpies or right-wingers in general. I also prefer sci-fi to fantasy but eat both happily enough. Dutch and British citizen. Thinks everyone should pay their tax.

This will be obscure to a non Irish audience, but familiar in Ireland. The translation of the title is That Night In Bethlehem.#Advent25

While it's all still fresh untrodden snow you have your chance now to share your favourite and see if it makes the top 25 - no it won't be Mariah or George. #Advent25 is the hashtag. This thread will remain open to suggestions until the 24th.
