glove and poo bin
do you ever wonder how i manage to get some amazing photos (i’m attempted to be funny by the way) ? you can see how it’s done with this fantastic shot that tony took of me in action. it’s all about the dress sense.

a walk – without geocaching !
we actually managed to go for a walk yesterday which wasn’t centred around a geocache !
a selection of pictures of tony
here’s tony looking pleased with the trophy which we give each other every celebration day
and here’s how tony greated us when we arrived. his first words were “don’t talk” as he was in a particularly difficult part of a plumber based wii game
and finally, here’s tony taking a picture
katie and the christmas angel
this is the sister of the angel that appears on our christmas card (and the christmas vouchers) this year. the actual angel was on the tree. this one is on a stick which katie (in the background) was holding. special thanks to katie’s family for letting me use their angelic tree icon this year.
the running jacket
olivia on the move
ham jenga
remember cheese jenga ? this is ham jenga
ooh. more geocaching. who would have thought
here’s esther with a giant geocache with katie and olivia
and here they are with chloe in the afternoon (taken with my compact camera which i seem to have lost the ability to use properly!)
trees
here are some trees in gerrards cross. the one above is quite spooky.
and these two have walls built in to them.
christmas debris
perhaps we overdid the wrapping paper this year.
skating
these skates were a christmas present for kezia last year. kezia reminded herself of them this christmas and i spent a couple of hours dragging her around yesterday morning in the chilly coldness. i didn’t take my camera (as i had my hands busy dragging her about). whilst we were out 8 red kites were out enjoying the wind and sweeping low over out heads dramatically.
my mum and the girls
here’s my mum and the raclette machine
balloon modeling
the girls got some modelling balloons for christmas and much of christmas day was spent pumping and knotting. and modeling.
bizarre periscope
esther got this periscope from a christmas cracker – bizarrely it looks like you can see her eye down the stick though which is quite eery.
wearing christmas presents
as you know, it’s obligatory to wear christmas presents which are capable of being worn on the day you receive them. i got this brilliant photographers access-all areas tabard (just put it on and no one asks you any questions – ideal for invisible photography work in busy places)
my mum got the girls lovely dresses which they were happy to show off
and kezia’s new dressing grown made her look like santa doing a repeat visit to the tree
modern grandma
my mum loved listening to esther playing christmas carols on her (esther’s) violin.
so much so that she phoned her parents (my grandma/pa and esther’s great grandma/pa) and put them on speaker phone so they could hear. esther’s first live performance ‘down the wire’.
boxing day geocaching
muddy trip to a couple of geocaching. my mum came along for her first geocaching outing and slipped over in the mud. ooops.
kezia and the squirty cream
there’s few things more terrifying that a 5 year old with a loaded can of squirty cream.
