Six Month To / From Christmas

 Yes, scarily, we're past the summer solstice, and Christmas Day is only six months off.

So, lets celebrate with this snowy scene, apparently of a thatched cottage called Hollyhocks (if I can make out the blurred detail.)

Alas, I have been unable to track down where this cottage is / was. Hollyhocks and Thatched Cottage produced a metric shit-ton of hits.

Bonus - Morse code is officially considered obsolete and was removed as an international standard for communication in 1999. The French Navy's last Morse message read; "Calling all. This is our last cry before our eternal silence."
