P365-2010

And this is the end of this blog, my friends... If you want to see my 2010 daily photos you will have to look somewhere else, as I now have a new website to combine all my blogs and photo albums: here's the link --

Day 365 - December 31

This year Sean got the honour of ringing the Twelve Midnight Strokes of the new year's ringing in Chertsey and I took a photo of him doing it which is of course rather special... And so this year's photo-a-day album starts and ends with bellringing!

Day 364 - December 30

Okay, the Blue Moon occured on December 31st, not 30th, but I had another important special picture for the end of the year, so I decided to cheat a little just at the end of this project! I really love this photo and wanted to use it, and I think a Blue Moon is really quite special, too, as it only occurs once in, well, once in a Blue Moon...

Day 363 - December 29

I tidied away the presents and thought I first take a photo of the sum of mine for the P365 album - alas, looking at it now I realise I forgot to put in a gift card for WHSmith which I got from my boss (!!!) and which was actually the biggest surprise... And instead I put in a bundle of seed packs which were one of Sean's presents and not mine - oh well... The 2nd photo, not for P365 but just to share with you, was taken on Boxing Day and it was the funniest present we had this year (Sean's, obviously). Apart from that and the seeds all he got was boxes of biscuits and sweets and more biscuits - what does that tell you???

Day 362 - December 28

And on Monday we started transposing some hymns from the hymn book, and also Auld Lang Syne, into bell ringing format as we hope to keep the handbell ringers group motivated to go on practising throughout the year and get better at it, rather than just botching together some carols for Christmas... Let's see if we are successul!

Day 361 - December 27

The days between Boxing Day and New Year are usually very quiet over here and a lot of people stay home with family if they can. Sean was home, too, and I started a dreadful cold so didn't feel like doing anything. We spent most of Sunday watching TV on iBBC, most of it the Christmas programmes which are often kid's stuff (in the photo is "Heidi", quite famous but ironically I'd never seen it before!).

Day 360 - December 26

On Boxing Day we had the usual family-get-together at FIL's house. A few people were ill so there were "only" 25 of us, plus 5 dogs. Every year after the unwrapping of the presents we all have a "paper fight" - you can see the paper balls laying about in the photo and Zoe has just thrown one.
