On the camera... ending 2011

 Here's the final pictures on the camera for 2011...

bit gruesome... but we found this handsome blackbird dropped outside the back door and Bubs was fascinated with it.

Christmas Eve Christingle that Bubs and I love to go to together at a local CofE

 Tucking into Christmas lunch

 Bubs and I took a very brisk 15 min walk after lunch

 A brief get-together with family on Christmas afternoon

Boxing Day meal with family

too many late nights = strong coffee required!

 Getting some fresh air at the Worcester Country Park

a girly day out for Bubs and me meant me looking at many changing room doors!

the perks of shopping! a stop at the Muffin Break at Merryhill

Ooo, lovely nails... a treat at Merryhill

some quiet time

end of term treat for Bubs (a bit late, because the shop wasn't open when we wanted it to be!), and I joined in! Fishy feet at AquaSpa

Much time spent playing Angry Birds... and drawing Angry Birds... and humming Angry Bird tune... and...

yup... Angry Birds have taken over!

 The 3 Wise Men patiently making their way down the stairs since Christmas... ETA = Epiphany! I will actually be sad to take the tree and the the minimal decs we have down this year - Advent, Christmas and New Year have all come and gone so very quickly, I'm not sure why!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

On the camera

A few things as the year starts to draw to a close...

 Bubs working on her science homework - a ski slope to demonstrate how electricity flows round a circuit (I think!). She did very well with it anyway!

 Week 2 of Bubs helping Santa at Hartlebury. She had such fun... just such a shame it was on a Sunday.
