Merry Christmas

...it's pouring outside with much needed rain. Huge thunderstorms this evening, after clouds built up after a 30 degree C afternoon. Looks like Christmas Day will be a little wet this year.

Best wishes to all, and don't forget to enter the Christmas Phoneography Challenge.

@judithg @peterdegraaff thanks for the signpost Judith, the only problem with travelling is that "mentioned in a discussion" disappears of your feed really quickly! But I'm there finally and thankfully understand all the cryptic messages! So awesome...my kindle is refusing to let me comment or fav so I've jumped on my laptop to do so...

[Alison Tomlin]

Merry Christmas! You are the first to get there and you must be up early! Have a wonderful few days
