I know it's a bit early...

for Christmas blips...but we had our last Thursday photographic class of 2017, with our tutor J .  Following a rather nice breakfast at Creake Abbey Cafe,  L kindly hosted us at Cranmer holiday cottages, where she had dressed one of her cottages for Christmas.  L had gone to all the trouble of putting up a large Christmas tree, decorated it all, and had laid up the dining table with a Christmas dinner setting, and had arranged tealights in a pretty silver tray with fir cones and conifer. 
It was a most enjoyable morning, trying out different camera settings and shots and then a planning session for the next term over tea coffee and mince pies.  Perfect!
