O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree... you are a little baby one! by happypat

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree... you are a little baby one!

Another peek through a square window.

I will be absent until Monday as I am off to Dublin on a ''girls'' weekend... girls said very loosely!!

Three good things:
1. The house is all clean.
2. Hair cut & sorted for Christmas.
3. Very small Ryanair suitcase packed tight so there will be minimal shopping!!!
Another beautiful window shot, Pat! And such a sweet baby tree! Speaking of babies, I take it there's no news on the new grandbaby front? Have a fabulous time with the girls in Dublin!! You know you can always buy an inexpensive tote type bag to bring home purchases if you can't stay away from shopping. :)

A beautiful capture and a sweet little tree - such a welcome to all !! Have a great weekend in Dublin's fair city !!

Love it, I just want to go inside there it looks so cozy :)

@peggysirk Thank you so much Peggy. No news about the baby but Jo is due to have a caesarian section next Thursday 19th so unless he comes early that is the date!
Ryanair are really strict about extra baggage & unless you book in your added baggage before you fly they charge an extra, well it was £60 but I think they dropped it to £30. Only in the last three weeks have they even allowed you to take a small ...they have sent the measurements ..hand bag or in my case camera case. Cheap flights but terrible on any extras!! I am going to try & squeeze an odd purchase in but quite happy to just look as I have been a bit cash happy lately...the sweaters!!!

So will Harry do breakfasts if you have a last minute B&B? Is this your window. Lovely cosy sight and very tastefully decorated tree. Have a fun trip away.
December 12th, 2013  
Beautifully shaped Xmas tree and those lights would make good bokeh! It will be very busy around you when you travel! Hope its all worth it!
December 12th, 2013  
Wonderful! And can't help thinking how easy it must have been to decorate that tree! (grumble grumble)
December 12th, 2013  
@lucypics Thanks Lucy...Harry is doing breakfast for my B&B on Monday morning, she always arrives on the Sunday...he is well trained & as long as it's someone he is used to & not a family of five he is fine & well able. Not my window just one on Garstang High Street the other evening....I will do one of mine soon!

Very nice seasonal shot with loads of atmosphere
December 12th, 2013  
This is a lovely scene!! I remember last year's Dublin trip though this year I have visions of you being stopped at customs for sweater smuggling!!
December 12th, 2013  
Love this window shot. So cosy inside.
December 12th, 2013  
So how many sweaters CAN you wear without keeling over from heatstroke?!?!
December 12th, 2013  
BTW still loving your window shots!!!
December 12th, 2013  
This is such a lovely window shot
December 12th, 2013  
@judithg Ha Ha Judith ...no room for any sweaters, only the one I will have on my back!!! Ryanair allow you a Pittance!!
December 12th, 2013  
@bpaquette I should put them all on as none will fit in my case Barbara.....a weeny little case with less that 10kg in it...my toiletries make up most of that!! Good to travel light though!!
December 12th, 2013  
I love peeking through windows at Chrismas trees and lights. I hope you have a good weekend.
December 12th, 2013  
@dh Thanks Delena...I have been very lax with your photos lately I fear!
December 12th, 2013  
@happypat Don't worry - I seem to have been very lax with everything lately!
December 12th, 2013  
Very nice, Pat. :)
December 12th, 2013  
@sabresun Thanks Matt...when are you coming back to 365? You know you want to really!!
December 13th, 2013  
I don't know, Pat. Since I dropped my camera, I've basically stopped taking photos. It works, but it's a little hit and miss with the focusing, and like yourself, I'd rather post something that I think is good than post average looking photos that I'm not really happy with. Even in the recent sunset photo I took, the focus is a little iffy.

I was going to update the camera, and then some investment shares I had recently, lost a lot of money, so that has put quite a few projects on hold. As ever, there are more important things to spend the money on currently what with Christmas around the corner. Buying a hobbyist item for myself doesn't feel a priority.

At the moment, I'm happy to look in occasionally and enjoy other people's efforts. :)
December 13th, 2013  
@sabresun Well it is rather an expensive hobby & I sometimes feel I spend far too much time sitting at the computer commenting ...such as now when I should be in bed...early start tomorrow up at six yet here I am!!
Still enjoy it though & like the friends I make on here so much, would really miss that part of it...some people do some amazing photos with little P&S I sometimes wonder why we spend more than we should!! iphone is the most popular camera & I know it's too expensive for me as I don't use my phone very much it certainly does both jobs well!
Glad you keep track anyway....I go on here far more that FB now!
December 13th, 2013  
Have a fabulous trip. This is so incredibly welcoming a shot
December 13th, 2013  
Well enjoy your time away
December 13th, 2013  
Fabulous shot Pat, a lovely Christmassy feel to it. Fav. Enjoy your weekend, I hear the bar owners of Temple Bar have doubled their orders this weekend!!
December 13th, 2013  
Love the shot! I bought the sqeeze all the air out bags at Lakeland when i was travelling with Easyjet my case was small but boy was it heavy - but Easyjet have size but no weigh restrictions. Bon Voyage!
December 13th, 2013  
Absolutely gorgeous warm shot - have a great time!
December 13th, 2013

Oh this is even cosier than the one I just said was cosy! That's the problem with working backwards...!
