Hi everyone, just got home from Mum's - but due to some advance planning with a neighbour and a key, the flat is nice and warm as she put the heating on yesterday for me..... nothing worse than coming home to a cold flat.....
Had a lovely time with Mum but it's nice to be home (computer access etc!) Here are some pictures I took on Boxing Day.
(except this which is from the train window on the way down - somewere around Dorking - still realy snowy!)
I went out on Boxing Day for a walk - it was COLD but no wind, so quite pleasant - these are the frosty leaves in Mum's garden. I love frost on leaves.
And this is me on the beach - I have never seen the stony Pagham beach with frost on before!!
Although the frost doesn't really show very well - it was thick frost!
And Pagham has a "Pram Race" - it's a pub crawl round the pubs of Pagham really - every year on Boxing Day when teams dress up in fancy dress. They are meant to drink a pint in each pub but quite often they carry them along the streets with them...
My camera's memory card ran out so I couldn't get many but there are a few more on my "photosbyh" blog.
Hope you all got lots of lovely crafty presents - I'll be round to play with them later..... till next week, TTFN and Happy New Year to you all.
been ages since I've seen a pram race. Pretty frosty photos.

Fabulous photos. Glad you came home to a warm house. :) Sending you very Best Wishes for the New Year & happy crafting.xx
ReplyDeleteWelcome HOME. I know the feeling, although I came home to a very cold house. I hope you had a great Christmas. I totally understand no internet. Little did I know when I left suddenly last Wednesday that I would not have access to the internet, either. I didn't even get to wish you a Merry Christmas, and now it's time to wish you the best in 2011. You and your art were sorely missed, dear friend (#2).
ReplyDeletefab photos! I love the one with your shadow - how i wish I had legs that long lol

Looks like you had a great Christmas and love those pics. Have a Happy 2011

Brilliant photos there - I love the frosty beach, those etched leaves, your tall shadow and the fun race. Hope you soon get to address that crafting withdrawal and have a happy crafty 2011,

A pram race! Looks like a lot of fun. Do they have the pram and a designated "pram pusher" in the case of too many pints? lol Thanks for the pics. #75
ReplyDeleteFrost on a beach - blimey. Wedon't have a pram race, but in Pewsey we have a WheelBeero race during carnival week. Seriously, the kidneys and liver take until the next year to recover!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm running late on this and it's almost yet another Wednesday but thought it was worth taking a peek and I was right. Brilliant set of photos showing just how cold it has been. Love the frosted leaves. Elizabeth #57
