Santa and his helper.

These chaps appeared on the scene just a few years ago. My wife loves them - I have my reservations. They are nonetheless a significant part of our Christmas stuff, so a blip they will make!

Bit of an uneventful day today, tidying up, throwing out the wrapping paper, the nut shells, the half unwrapped Geoffrey Archer books. Getting some outdoor stuff done before the forecast snow arrives.

Reading books and magazines with ideas for seasonal photography! Now I just need a magic wand to make the time, I haven't seen one in Jessops catalogue yet. I'm sure it would be a best seller.
