   Real candles on your tree Jonnie? Have you risk assessed it?

   Fantastic, Jonnie!

   I think it looks great.

   I recently did a four-(half)day digital camera course and, as a total novice, found it fascinating. My experiments with flash were often limited to forgetting whether it was on or off. Some interesting results and a few disasters. But I'm hooked now.

   So it's FF who is the expert? Except I expect he's a 35mm SLR genius.

   Sigh. 502, of course. I do hope we're not plagued with it on Christmas Day. If we are, I wish everyone a happy day on the 25th

   Re: Stewart:-

   Perish the thought. On that note however, we now have to put intumescent smoke seals on over 20 doors. Not sure where the money for that will come from - but we will have to try and do it ourselves.

   Re: Frances:-

   I only have a cheapish 3 year old sony, but it does have various manual settings. I really must do a course as I'm still not sure what an F stop is!

   And Gillian:-

   Bless you. I'll upload it to my Flickr site so you can see simon's little balls and wastle cups? Not sure how you spell it.

   "Wassail" Jonnie.

   I think it refers to festive drinks. Not anything you'd know anything about then. Strictly tee- total as I remember the Cransley.

   Tomorrow doing Xmas Carols from 9 30 am to 7 30 pm. Is this good for my mental health, I wonder? Probably too late to worry now.

   Happy Christmas, one & all!

   Thanks nikki - members of the panto cast and simon and I have now adorned it with presents.

   It looks all quite festive. I may email Eddie another pic to stick underneath as they have all just read ths blog thread and telling their various families to check the PM Blog.

   On a different note - our local Homebase had around 50 huge Norwegian spruces left over today that they were giving away free to the public - otherwise destined for the local tip!

   Rather sad in a way?

    You're right Gillian - I thought I was seeing things!
    Maybe Val P is the lovely fairy on the top of Jonnie's tree?

    Hey, I don't purport to be an expert, Jonnie! All I said was it's often worth playing about with the manual settings to get different effects :) And I think the glow on this looks really good...

    Honest I didn't!

    There is a lurking pic I sent Eddie with the tree adorned with sparkling gifts below. Mostly pantomime people I'm sorry to say.

    Happy Christmas everybody.

    Splendid broadcast from kings on earlier. I was listening whilst wrapping up my meagre offerings.

    As always I must compliment the ´óÏó´«Ã½ on the wonderful technical excellence of the sound engineers and general transmission quality. Listening on FM (Not DAB) it was quite astounding.

    Unlike this dire blog's performance :-(
