We took Monty over to Cambourne where you can do a decent off-lead walk without sinking up to your knees in mud - quite a rare thing at the moment. Our friends Jeremy and Linda put on a fine spread for afternoon tea including Jeremy's brandy butter ice cream made to his granny's recipe. Well - sensational! And I thought she was only famous for her meringues... Anyway their Christmas decorations are always very pretty so rather than a completely brown landscape I've gone for some stars.
Three good things:
1. I have been to Waitrose and we have finally moved on from turkey leftovers (we were in fact going to have turkey pie tonight but I couldn't bring myself to make it!)
2. Jeremy's granny's recipe legacy.
3. A few weeks ago I surprised myself by getting hold of 4 tickets to see Twelfth Night at the Apollo - quite far back in the Upper Circle but it has had great reviews and the only other tickets left for any shows were single seats scattered around the theatre. So that's where we are going tomorrow night except that we had a phone call from the Box Office saying that those seats were sold to us in error and they have upgraded us at no extra cost to the stalls instead. I don't know how they found those seats - maybe ones the cast can give away or something but thank you very much Apollo!
nice stars, why is our that everyone else's decorations look better than your own? I took photos at a friend's house last year similar to this...can I find the same type of lights myself? might see if I can find done nice stuff in the sales in the next couple of days!
@sparkle Well my hall display is not helped by addition of a new printer and printer cartridges, a random book, a glasses case, a sock and a packet of cat medicine....
Judith ...you are slipping into your 'occasional' use of song titles into your picture titles...gr8 bokeh...but i think you should have called this "Vincent" :)
Beautiful bokeh, marvelous capture! And aren't you the lucky one, with an upgrade to the stalls. Hope you all have a most wonderful, memory making time.
