As I post these pics, it is the first Friday of December - and that can mean only one thing - I'm off to Leeds for Leeds First Friday weekend. Getting the lunchtime train and it should be a huge event this month as it's the Christmas LFF.
I'll leave you with the last set of photos from November. Back in my current favourite black lace dress again.

These are the last of the 2020 photos.
New Year's Eve was another excuse to stuff ourselves with delicious food. So, Porc a la Normande again, this time with roast potatoes. Not my best attempt - the sauce needed to be thicker - but it was still delicious!
We're not as young as we used to be and it really showed this New Year - we were in bed by 10.30, we had no chance of seeing in the New Year at midnight. Except by being woken up by the fireworks, of course! Lol.
Thank you all for your comments and faves!

My cat woke me up disgustingly early today, but I was not mad at him anymore when I looked at the sky and saw the gorgeous colors. A beautiful sunrise and a cup of coffee is, to me, a perfect way to start a day. Have a great one, everybody! :D
comment please
(I've been glued to my laptop, since a crazy fire broke out in Reno last night. It's hard watching your hometown up in flames and not being able to do anything. I may not want to live in Reno, but I definitely don't want it burnt to the ground. Be safe Reno friends and family!)

After our enormous dinner, we also went for a chippy tea on the same day - we certainly ate well! My local chippy is one of the best in Hull - Dundee Fisheries - and we had been planning to go there all glammed up for a laugh for a while. The opportunity finally presented itself, ha ha!
After that, we went into town to Monroe's cocktail bar where we met our friend Alexis. From there we went on to The Star.
Part way through a crazy social night in the Star (our booth was packed with people all night!) Jim, the owner, brought us over a huge cocktail dispenser full of cocktail - for free! He thought it would be good advertising, ha ha!
Of course, I couldn't even help with it because I don't drink. Gemma did her best, and we were giving it away too, but by the time we left there was still about half of it left, LOL!
With the gorgeous Alexis.
Thanks for all of your amazing comments!
I hope that you enjoy the Lily!
Thanks so much for all of your support!!!!

The markings on this beautiful Calla lily looked exotic and quite tiger like...hence the caption.Outstanding glorious shades and colours. Were really striking when seen.
Best viewed on black.
Many have commented on my photos of small Texas towns and those comments are sincerely appreciated. I have a love for rural and small town Texas because that is where my roots are, going back many generations. This particular series is special to me, however. My mother would have turned 100 this month and I visited Thornton, Texas, her home town, during the summer to take this series of photographs. The place holds many memories for me from my trips there to visit my grandmother and aunts and uncles while growing up. Sadly, many of the old buildings that I remember so well are gone, including Fisher Hardware (that was nothing like the modern big box hardware stores) and Black’s Drug Store, with its “old fashioned” soda fountain. My grandmother’s house is gone, too, destroyed in a fire several years ago. My visit to the local cemetery was very poignant, as well. My mom and dad are buried in Houston but Mom’s parents and all of her siblings and their spouses are buried in Thornton.
Thornton is located on State Highway 14 in Limestone County. Settlement began in 1868. In 1870, the Houston and Texas Central Railway ran a line through the area from Hearne to Groesbeck. The community became a railroad stop and was named for John E. Thornton, an early resident. (The story of how my grandfather, mayor of Thornton in the 1930’s and early 1940’s, convinced the railroad company not to discontinue using Thornton as a railroad stop, which would have ended their passenger service, is a family legend.)
A post office was established in 1873 and, soon thereafter, cotton gins were set up nearby. Ceramics manufacturing also took place in Thornton, though agriculture was the mainstay of the area. Thornton Institute, an early college, was established in 1877 but later became Thornton School. The Thornton Masonic lodge No. 486 was chartered in 1878 and other organizations followed.
By 1880 Thornton had a population of 200, thirteen businesses, and three churches. Within ten years, the population had more than doubled and Thornton had steam gristmills and a local newspaper. In 1904, the population was 586 and, after unsuccessful attempts, the town was incorporated in 1907.
During this period of time the population grew, reaching 678 between 1910 and 1920, and business continued to expand. In addition to the cotton gins, schools, churches, and steam gristmills, the town soon had eighteen brick stores (mostly gone now), a bank, a commission house, a hotel, and electric lights. In 1918, the first airplane landed in Thornton, piloted in from Houston. By 1926 Thornton had 733 residents, a deep water well, and telephone connections. The population peaked at nearly 2,000 in the late 1920’s and then began a decline. Between 1969 and 1989 Thornton had a population between 408 and 498, and the number of businesses was five. The population currently remains at approximately 500 (as of the 2000 census).

Today is Australia day! although this photo has no relation to Australia whatsoever i just thought i'd mention it (: 4 more days till i'm back there.
Just got news from my boarding house mistress that there was a miscalculation of the number of new boarders coming this year and that i'll have to move rooms to accomadate that mistake. i'm quite annoyed because it took me ages to move rooms, put up all my photos and decorate it perfectly :( and worst of all is that i arrive last at the boarding house and have no time to do all this. i was looking forward to be back but now not so much :/
btw happy belated chinese new year to all the fellow chinese photographers on flickr! AND i apologise for the bad editing in the second photo in comments and the long description, this photo practically sums up how i feel right now.

A sneaky mid-week couple of drinks out on Prince's Avenue with Rebekah and Trisha.
This is another page from my magazine. The entire backbone of the mag was about the new 1% fat milk 'the One' from Wisemans Milk. So, naturally, that theme oozes throughout the design.
Any comments and favs are very much appreciated

Gemma came up again for 2 weeks this time - although there was very little chance to get glammed up and go out, what with everywhere closed.
So, we made the best of our one opportunity, got out Christmas glam on and went to do the big Christmas shop at Tesco. We slayed it! :-)
Afterwards we stopped off to see some beautiful Christmas lights down a terrace. Absolutley fantastic - what a community effort!
Ready to go out - Gemma was still getting ready at this point.
