So having realised the last time I posted was for Annie's birthday I thought it best to give a summary of the time in between rather than lay it all out!
Fireworks:
So Julia and I did the Scouts Fireworks on Friday 3rd November followed by us, James, Dima and Charlie doing Leeds Castle on the Saturday
Christmas Lights @ Bedgebury:
So Dad, Me, Julia and James spent a chilly evening walking around Bedgebury for the Christmas Lights, Dad and Me snapping away on our respective cameras. Excellent evening!
The next day Dad & I did the Wartime Christmas @ the RE Museum.
I had a go at a honeycomb decoration kit over a weekend which proved far more difficult than I envisaged and having got the Xmas decs out to put up found that my Christmas Tree was finally without lights for the first time in its 10yr service. Amazon came to the rescue as usual and a new tree was delivered the following day - this one 6ft but a pencil slim design - excellent.
We had a visit from my 'bro and his family and we went out for our usual meal @ The Honourable Pilot.
Santa Run & Santa Paws:
So this is a quick collage of the few phone snaps taken of the local Scouts Santa run on the 17th December.
And this is us with Annie meeting Santa @ Dobbies - she's always so good bless her!
The Big Day!
So we've had a good Christmas and my break is almost at an end - last day today in fact (01-01-2024)! I'm not quite as miserable about returning to work as I'd anticipated but that might change come tomorrow morning! At least it's only one day on site as it's a short three day week for moi and I wonder how Joanne will settle in her newfound four day week albeit still working a full 37hr 😱
Oh and on a rather disappointing note this is the 2023 camera stats...
Just over 800 images less this year than last year and that was disappointing enough 😠Didn't even break the 2000 mark. With no family challenge anymore and camera club hanging in the balance once again it begs the question of whether this is the future rather than a blip? Maybe I need to retire to give me more time out and about with the camera 📷 Seems everyman and his dog/cat are going down that road.
