Today I worked really hard to try to get some new software finished, so didn't have much time to take photos, but I still managed to take a few whilst dog-walking.

This Years Christmas Tree

This year we had replacement ornaments (after last years' disaster) sent from all over the world. Thanks to each and every one who responded. This is what the finished tree looked like -

Boxing Day 2010

We went to the race course for the annual Round The Walls race, and discovered that the river was frozen. Joe competed, but took it slowly and carefully.

Balloon Hats - 23rd December

Last night we spent a little time creating balloon hats for photos for my attempt to get a stall at Glastonbury next year (we didn't get tickets, and I think this is my best chance of still getting in). Thanks to all who participated.

Winter on the Allotment - 23rd December 2010

Today we went to attempt to pick sprouts for our Christmas Dinner. Amazing what grows through the winter.

The Chester Wheel and the night view from the top - I want to go back in the day time.

Snow and Dogs

 Sadly, Sam just ignores the snow - I was hoping he would get all excited just like Ben used to do.

Winter Frost and Snow - 22nd December

Yesterday we had freezing fog, which produced some beautiful frosty effects, then, last night we had snow, so I have been out using my camera.
