We have had our tree up for just over a week now and it certainly cheers up these gloomy afternoons. It's only small,but suits us and still feels festive.

Love the festive photos. I’ll try to add some tomorrow, struggling to sit today - don’t ask!

Beautiful photos..ponies,Christmas lights etc..?

The fireplace is from Avebury, the lantern is ours and the view from yesterday’s short walk in a country park.

Sunset yesterday around 15.45

Beautiful photos. Feeling rather festive looking at them. They bring pleasure.

That reflection on the Thames is amazing Riverwalk.

Soon be time for a new thread.....won’t be long to 1,000 posts,
Keep it up everyone, marvellous thread with great pics.?

This might not work as a picture on here, and you might need a magnifying glass, but
There IS gold at the end of the rainbow!
Well, there was yesterday!

It's my golden boy in case it isn't clear!

What else would you need at the end of a rainbow but a faithful golden friend!

Last years kitchen wreath. I haven't made one for this year yet.

Sprouts! Well that’s different!???

Get them into some boiling water pronto! ?

I hadn’t made out the dog Elliane and although I do really like golden retrievers, at this moment a pot of gold would come in very handy.?

Ha ha lemongrove. You'd need a big pot of gold to buy a golden. Puppies now going for around £4,000 if you can even get one. Same with all breeds I believe.

You can never have too many sprouts at Christmas Greyduster ?

Saucepan in position☑
Water ready and waiting☑
Sprouts X'd and in the freezer☑
count down started☑
Ahead of you there lemongrove?

Hope your Christmas is something to sprout about!

Another fantastic scene Ellianne how ever did you manage to catch that shot?!

Like everyone else on here it's just capturing a moment in our daily lives Namsnanny. That's hopefully what makes this thread special.

I wondered if your lovely dog was so well trained he stayed where you put him.

What began as a damp and drizzly walk by the river today ended up with a patch of blue sky... always a bonus on a December day!

We had some blue sky too. Our park today, and one of its more exotic feathered residents.
