Christmas with me

[skylarking]

This year my mum had a bigger pile of presents than anyone else.



This is my sister's boyfriend Jamie – but you can't really see him, he seems to have disappeared into the chair; it is a nice shot of Nameless Bear though.


My mum bought some Paint your own Faires from the Pound Shop (I love the Pound Shop) so my mum, my sister and I sat on the floor and painted them. Then we decided it was so much fun that we would get my mum's 'inspiration file' out and make sticky pictures out of all the bits and bobs she had collected, well, my mum and I made sticky pictures, my sister coloured in. Colouring is fabulous no matter how old you are.


It was fun, but it did cause devastation in the living room.


Note the presence of a large tub of Quality Street. You can tell it was Christmas. The purple and the triangular green ones are my favourites.


It snowed while I was there, and settled prettily so I went for a walk with my digital camera…









My footprints


Duck and geese footprints


They amused me for ages.


And speaking of footprints. I found a big patch of snow that no one (human or duck) had walked though…


…and I couldn't help myself


Me and my shadow


Their feet must be cold


Feeding frenzy


But I wouldn't fancy having a picnic myself


Or sitting down for that matter


There was still some green though






Me trying to be artistic and fighting with auto focus









Redcar is by the sea, and there was snow on the beach.



Freaky




Frozen seaweed




This amused me. A santa sock on the beach covered in sand and snow. Festive.



And last but not least. Along the seafront near a little boating lake is a family of concrete penguins looking out to sea. No one really knows why they are there, but I like them. They are usually surrounded by sand, but not when I walked past them

They must feel right at home.

Phew!

It was a beautiful day; but about half way through I did start to wish I'd put an extra pair of socks on :)

I love the penguins.

The geese footprints were brilliant, I'd never seen anything like it!
