Happy New Year

Happy New Year

I've just spent a few days in Malaga, Spain, had a great time but came back with a heavy cold.

These were some of the decorations and Christmas lights there and below that are a couple of unusual trees.

Days Out

My daughter has been to stay for a few days so we have been to Beamish [the living museum] to see the pigs

and the bull???

and the rocking horse in the school

we also went for a walk around Chopwell Woods

lovely views and wooden sculptures

lovely trees

and a quick visit to the Metro Centre where we saw the giant reindeer and tree

Look at more photos of Beamish on my other blog which were done for a photo challenge

Sepia [TAW], Christmas Cactus Lights

Take a Word challenge - Sepia

The vintage photo is of a great aunt, the background is altered handmade paper, the other parts ?. I did [most] of the digital collage some time ago but altered it for this challenge.

Christmas cactus - there were buds on the plant when I took the photo a few days ago, which are now flowers. I love the lights which are like little flowers, they are just battery operated from a £1 shop.
