As promised - although a little deflated now - sprockets practice animals just hanging around at mine!

The swans are back on the lake - so i went for a walk with my nice new lens that Santa bought me!

To all my New Friends & fellow Mobloggers - As some of you know this part of the year work-wise is my busiest time - so I'm sorry I did not get round to making as many Christmas cards as I wanted to. Instead I've decided to post the images here - as let's face it this really is where we all look anyway. Thank you for the cards I received, and the images you've all posted over this festive period. I'm constantly in awe of the talent that you all have & the laughs & giggles you all share. A very Merry Christmas to all of you & your kin. Here's to seeing you all in 2009. QSSx

Very early morning - Hampton Court

Had a bonfire in the 4 acres of woods behind my house that belong to the estate I live on the other day. There are a group of us that look after the wood & clear the dead branches & cut back the non - English plants. Its a privilage to have all of this within stepping distance
