Scary bears and squirrels

Had a wonderful breakfast and meet up with two long term and respected friends (one being poppy2, the other an old coffee soak who isn't on blipfoto ... yet...).
After a fight over who should pay the bill .... I got dragged persuaded to visit Santa's Grotto set up in the shopping centre ... thankfully the nausea, diaphoresis and chest pains abated once we left the area.
