December Scavenger Hunt

Hey there, how is everyone enjoying the last day of 2014? Although I have had a couple of months off from doing the Photography Scavenger hunt, I have managed to gather a few photos this month. Thanks to Greenthumb for hosting such a great hunt. Here's a few images just to round off the year.

Xmas Lunch

A favourite thing

 My favorite xmas present to myself...my new coffee maker.

What I like..

 I saw this Penny Farthing outside a shop and London and just had to take a photograph of it.

Decoration

 Spotted another lovely wreath on a hotel door.

Down low

 The tide was way down low.

A view from here...

One of my favourite views, from one of my favourite places. The hill is Criffel, across the Solway Firth, in Scotland, from where I was standing at west Silloth, England.

So there you go. Here's to a very happy new year to one and all.

A 'Twixmas' Round Up

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I had a very busy time leading up to Christmas and a quiet family time over the last few day. All things considering, it was very pleasant. Before the new year I just thought I'd post a few images of some of my Christmas and Twixmas (that time between Christmas and New year) photos.

 Enjoy the last day of the year.

Advent Calendar -Day 23 and 24

Two for the price of one today, as I wasn't able to post last night. So here you go two festive images to finish off my advent Calendar collection, joining in with Julie at 'KC Court'.

All that is left to do is to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

Enjoy. X

Advent Calendar - Day 22

Well hello. It feels like I've been on a shopping mission worthy of that large tummied man in red! London streets were throng of people but everyone was in such great Christmas spirits. Yes, I imagine for some it's the total idea of a nightmare, but with the decorations hanging, carol singers singing and buskers playing Christmas songs, what's not to like.

Now settled back on the train, I'm glad of the rest and my feet are killing me! Only another few days to go! Hope everyone's got their presents sorted. Or are you a last minute shopper?

Advent Calendar- Day 21

4 days until Christmas and I joined the crowds of folk completing their Christmas shopping. Big stores, little stores, Christmas markets and the rest, London was heaving with throngs of shoppers. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, you may be frazzled but you just can't help but feel just a little bit more festive than you were when you set off.

Hope your Christmas preparations are going well.

Advent Calendar- Day 20

Happy Saturday to one and all. Hope everyone isn't too stressed out with all the pre Christmas rush. Being the last Saturday before Christmas I imagine there will be a few people dashing around the shops. That may well be me tomorrow, but for today I'm making the most if a 4 hour rail journey to read, sleep and catch up on some blogs before I hit the capital.

I'm looking forward to catching some Christmassy snaps whilst I'm down there, as my picture for today is the last of Christmassy ones I have. A little jolly snowman stocking.

Have a good weekend,

Advent Calendar- Day 19

Hey, how's everything going in the pre Christmas rush?

Having a very busy day, wrapping and packing and getting ready for a quick jaunt down to the big smoke. A visit to London in Christmas week! I must be mad! 

There's a very good reason to brace the crowds..I'm off to a wedding and I'm looking forward to catching up with old friends.

Last evening I was catching up with friends too. An annual get together, a pre Christmas dinner, with friends from my school days. We still get together regularly and have a good old natter. Last night was no exception. The food was delicious and the company was great. Even the decorations were photograph worthy.

So there you are Day 19 of my Adevnt calendar, joining in with Julie at KC Court.

Have a good day. X
