We spent the afternoon in this charming room, while visiting my cousin Ida! She gets very creative with her decorations, putting up Christmas lights in her fireplace when not in use!
Just having a little fun for the holidays. This is a total ripoff of Annette's gorgeous photo. Yes I know, she looks way better with a candy cane in her mouth then I do!
Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :-)

Mission: Bring the Christmas tree home. Status: Out of control!
Getting a Christmas tree seemed like a great idea ... until gravity got involved. Now I’m speeding down the hill on my sled, clinging on for dear life while my new tree enjoys the ride...
Sammy and his friends think this is the best game ever and they're happily racing alongside me. Let’s hope we stop before reaching the next town... or someone’s front yard! 😂

and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

Where Halloween Comes from…
Halloween is based on a Holiday, called Samhaid, that the CELTS celebrated thounsands of years ago. The Celts believed the line between the living and dead was erase on this day. It was a day when ghosts moved hmong the living. The Celts wore costumes and placed Tricks to scare away the ghosts.
Halloween traditions come from a Christian Holiday called all Souls’ Day, too. On all Souls’ Day, people gave beggars cakes called soul cakes. The beggars promised to pray for the familias of people who gave them cakes. This is how trick-or-treating started.
What is Halloween?...
Halloween is a time for scary fun!. Tihis Holiday comes every year on October 31. People celebrate Halloween by dressing up in customes.
They decorate their houses with scary things, like ghosts, Black cats, and jack-o’-lanterns. People also tell scary storiess and watch scary movies on Halloween.
Halloween is especially fun if you are a Kid. This is because Kids go trick-o-treating on Halloween. They wear customes, visit their neighbors, and say: TRICK OR TREAT. The neighbors give them a treat, such as candy, fruit or Money. Have you ever gone trick-or treating?
The telephoto lens distorts the view of the elderly woman walking up a rapidly ascending path.
The "Vespa Squad" had a somewhat longer animated conversation and the smiles on their faces, I believe, had nothing to do with the elderly lady with her walker.
I believe that the image does justice to the passage of time and the generational difference.
So you think your Christmas Eve is stressful? Spare a thought for our mate Nick. While you’re wrestling with tangled fairy lights, he’s got to visit every nice child in the world, steer a sleigh pulled by reindeer with attitude, and deal with elves who’d rather test the toys than pack them. And then there’s Martha — Mrs. Claus—who’s as caring as she is relentless with her annual lecture.
“Don’t sleigh over the speed limit, Nick! Remember what happened in 2015?” “Wear your gloves this time—you’re not frostbite-proof!”
“For goodness' sake, watch out for Elon's Starlink satellites. You’re not dodging one again this year!” “You don’t need to drink every beer someone leaves out! And maybe skip a few chocolates—remember what the doctor said about your waistline? Chimneys aren’t exactly getting bigger, you know.”
“And that beard! If it catches fire in a chimney, don’t come crying to me!” “Oh, and Nick... there’s no shame in using GPS. Last year’s Paris debacle was not a good look.”
Do you have any Christmas traditions? In our house, we’re Lego nerds through and through. Every year on December 1st, we kick off our annual assembly of the four Christmas-themed Lego sets we own—each boasting over 1,000 pieces. It’s a group effort, with whoever happens to be around joining in, fueled by a glass of red wine, Spotify Christmas carols, and a spirited debate over the best way to sort the pieces. (I’m firmly in the “sort by style, not color” camp by the way)
Of course, there’s the inevitable moments “There’s no red piece that’s a double with four blocks and a slant on one side!” Yet somehow, my wife always finds it — usually in a spot I *just checked*. I’m convinced she hides them for fun.
After a week of meticulous building, we finally finish one set... only to discover an alarming number of leftover pieces. Why do I have five green tree branch when I desperately need an orange Christmas light? By that point, it doesn’t really matter though.
Then there’s our grandson. When he arrives, the intricate builds we’ve painstakingly constructed are gleefully demolished in search of *that one perfect block* he absolutely must have. That’s the best part of it all — the chaos, the laughter, the tradition. It’s not about getting it to look like the picture on the box (it never does anyway). It’s about the journey, the memories, and the fun of doing it together.
Wishing you a merry Christmas, I hope you enjoy whatever you are up to !
No children’s party without some sweets and some toys. And since it’s Easter, sweet Eggs and for clean children, something from Paw Patrol MARSHALL Soap & Scrub. So Happy Macro Monday.
I have to admit, neither knew Pow Patrol nor the Soap & Scrub sets. But it reminds me on the Kinder EGG oder Überschungsei, good marketing strategy directed at small children to hide some cheap plastic toy within food or this time soap.

It's been a while since I've done an addition to my "carefully" series. I had this idea yesterday when I created the tilt shift effect on the caravan park and noticed all the negative space on the beach.. Did the majority of this last night so was a bit tired but mostly pleased with the result..
Well the fourth was kind of fun when your husband is the one in the air. I was going to let him down until he said don't move. Well it worked because he finally agreed to take me to the fireworks where we laughed and had fun except for the bug bites
ODESSA: "Hey, are you ready to go!?"

Dublin Swift on the afternoon run between Dublin & Holyhead in summer 2022.
Catamaran's dont like extreme weather & the Irish Sea is an unforgiving place, so Dublin Swift spends the winter months laid up, this year, like last is tied up at Liverpool & probably wont re enter service until early March 2023.
Cat''s don't like Christmas.
2nd July 2017:
Walked down to the Mini Marina via the estuary this afternoon. The light wasn't great, but it wasn't cold and the sun was making an effort.
Being the school holidays here now the activities to keep them amused have come out in force, almost no space for a stroll now until the end of August!
But this bouncy slide did give me a fun dolphin for my photo for the day.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
