I decided to enter Bison in the i heart faces contest....pets only, for the first time! This is the most recent picture I've taken of Bison with my homemade Christmas tree bokeh. It was part of our Christmas card this year. And yes, I know the Christmas trees are upside down :( I didn't realize I had it upside down till I uploaded the pictures. I still like this shot, though :)
Those that can act and remember the lines of the play get the best parts, everyone else is in the choir, if you can't remember the words, just make it look like you know them.
If you needed glasses, there were two types, a wire design as worn by the boy in front (typical British school boy of the 1950s to 1960s in glasses) often in either blue or pink, sometimes brown, or a plastic frame in brown or black, these normally broke after a short time either across the nose bar or at the hinge side, the method of repair was a piece of self adhesive sticking plaster, the repairs often had to last for up to a year.
A few children (not normally found in council schools) had parents who paid for private frames for their children's glasses, and some quite good designs could be found.
The standard NHS children's specs that were designed in the late 1940s lasted up to the mid 1970s Many children preferred to suffer and go without glasses due to the amount of teasing for any child wearing them received at the time.
Looked through the photos, seems like I had her focus for a few seconds anyway! (see previous photo)

My very first Christmas dinner at home with Sebastian.
Roasted turkey breast with cranberry sauce, garlic and thyme roasted potato wedges, sweet potato puree, brussels sprouts with applewood bacon and maple butter glazed carrots
After Christmas last year I went out and bought a purple table cloth, and so I've waited nearly a year to be able to use it for my Christmas table!! Here is the room looking unusually tidy (no phones, laptops, pens, paper, etc!!) - the calm before the storm of Christmas, when the boys will be home!!
(As you can see, I took this while watching 'Strictly Come Dancing'!)
Leftover scraps of Christmas fabrics didn't go to waste here. I string-pieced them into a colorful bag in which to do my Christmas shopping. Heavy non-woven interfacing in the body of the bag and Peltex in the bottom allows the open tote to stand on its own.

30 December 2008.Today's item of household rubbish, taken from a carefully labelled and hoarded sack marked 30 December 1989, shows the wrapper of an East German Dresden Christmas Stollen. Probably made before the Berlin wall had fallen, it was consumed after the event. And very good it was too,sent to England from Dresden. This year we had one from a different baker (Raddatz) in the same street and packed in a less collectable printed clear cellophane wrapper.
The old and highly respected guild of Stollen Makers in Dresden managed to survive amalgamation into a state-owned "Kombinat" and flourished under the PGH banner- Produktionsgenossenschaft des Handwerkes , literally a small craft makers' co-operative. The Rotophot postcard company in Bestensee also featured the acorn leaf and hammer symbol of the PGH network. It may be seen on this wrapper.
This Stollen baker (Werner) also survives to the present day in the charmingly named Industriestrasse but ownership has passed now to Ina Werner

In most cases, the use of the Fraktur or Gothik typefaces had died out completely many years before as they sent out the wrong signals to the People. It survived on this wrapper throughout the life of the GDR.
One of the many Christmas fairs in Barcelona. This one is on the cathedral plaza and it is mostly for decorations and figurines for creches..
Unfortunately it was a dull and cold day.
---------------------
Auf dem Platz vor der Katedrale in Barcelona ist einer der Weihnachtsmärkte. Man findet dort Krippen, Krippenfiguren und Weihnachstdekorationen. Leider war es regnerisch und mehrheitlich grau.

This is the single most important view each Christmas season. The view of the mantle from the Dining Room doorway is special. Always quite different, this year continues that tradition. This is the first year for the Nativity, and for the white train under the fireplace.
A look at the Christmas sets from previous years shows just how varied this image can be.
Photographed using only available light, and a very long exposure. Shooting data: Nikon D7000. Nikkor 18-55mm lens set at 24mm. 20 seconds @ f/25. EV = -2/3. ISO 500. WB set for cloudy weather / natural light.
I hope you enjoy this Christmas view of the Victorian 'front' room.
