Christmas 2011

Had a wonderful family Christmas - hope you all did too!

Came home to find 2 snowdrops in bud and an anemone out and it is still December!

Brighton

A lovely day yesterday , took a bus ride into Eastbourne over the Downs.
A pictureof Eastbourne Pier at Dusk

 and the Wheel at Brighton lit up.

 a bit miffed I missed out on the Burning of The Clocks Parade which took place on 2st, Winter Solstice, especially when it was just a stones throw away from here,     Photos can be seen on the BBC (Brighton) page.

Brighton

Good journey down - wet and miserable this morning but cheered up a little later.
New Landmaark on Brighton Seafront now:

Beautiful sunset over the town tonight

I've always loved Wind in the  Willows, Alice in Wonderland and the Moomins, was a bit concerned when I saw the To Let sign over this shop but happily it seems they are merely relocating

 

Only 3 days until Christmas Eve - going shopping in Brighton was as mad as ever!   Most of the shops are completely out of my price range, but hey it's fun to look!   

Last week on TV

I enjoyed watching final of Strictly Come Dancing but also enjoyed watching Alesha's Street DanceStars - there are some seriously talented kids out there!     If you missed it check it out on BBC I Player CBBC..

Bath Christmas Market

A delayed post re a day out to Bath Christmas Market at end of November.  Weather was a bit cold and overcast.   We had a good time although it was very crowded and difficult to get to some of the many stalls.Carols every hour in Bath Abbey - just a few photos.
