More Christmas Fun



Ron (Tracy's Dad) always brings Santa to join us for the day after he has entertained his customers in his 'Bargain Booze' shop. Then he goes back to his loft for his well earned rest until next year. And you always thought he came from Lapland!

Christmas Fun



Thought I would like to share some of our fun on Christmas Day. My elder son Jamie (on right) is cook- in- charge with his trusty assistant ( posh name sous chef!) younger son Graham. This was taken before the chestnuts started exploding in the oven! After all the excitment the meal was as superb as ever. The cooking 'genes' come their Dad who always did Christmas dinner. My role is one of clearing up afterwards - I know my place!

Christmas Eve Festivities


Grandparents, parents and children - 3 generations sitting down together to enjoy Christmas Eve festivities at New Life Church. A good mix of religious and secular with carols and Christmas songs washed down with mulled wine!

Christmas Eve Walk


Here I am sitting in the sunshine on the Marton field walk, having gathered the holly and the ivy on an unseasonably warm Christmas Eve. This beats queuing in the Supermarkets and getting stuck in traffic on the way home.


A Happy Christmas to my follower - eldest son!

Frosty Garden


I took this image in my unheated conservatory last week during the cold snap. I had to be quick as my breath steamed up the window! I used the macro setting on my camera to get the crystals in focus. Would have also liked the seat in focus too!
