I thought seeing as I haven't mentioned my escapades over the christmas holidays I post a few pictures of what I got up to but seeing as in most of them I am terribly drunk I chose some nice scenic ones. The top one is me in Northumberland the look of joy on my face is due to the fact I was having great fun kicking huge chunks of ice into the river below, oooh the small pleasures, I'm easily pleased! The second one is of a hawthorn hedge, I love hawthorn it is such a beautiful tree especially at this time of year when it's bare but luminous with moss. This photo is part of my painting project but I messed around in Photoshop with it a bit and quite liked the result so thought I'd post it. The bottom one I took in Derbyshire over Christmas. I stayed in a lovely converted barn with my parents, brother, sister-in law, 2 aunties, uncle and my two lovely nephews for the week. We had a right laugh, lots of organized fun arranged by my auntie. I got carried away on the kareoke on christmas eve, the booze was flowing, and I threw up as we opened our presents the next day, in the toilet obviously, not pleasant though. It was great to spend Christmas in the countryside and lovely to spend time with my nephews. My two year old nephew took a real shine to me ( and the feelings mutual, he's adorable) and his Mum made me his godmother. I really missed him once we'd left. But it's going to take more than that to make me broody, I'm content with my fairy godmother status! Oh my goodness I just noticed the time. I've got to go, I'm still in work, I shall get locked in!
