With Christmas and everything, I hadn’t noticed that I’ve passed 3,000 followers. My thanks to you all. It’s a pleasure to see the likes and comments and know that people are reading, as well as the joys of reading your blogs and watching them evolve. Just to add something, I thought I’d include a photo of what seems to introduce people to my blog. What posts tend to be most popular for you?
Nothing stands still, except in our memory.
As said in Tom’s Midnight Garden (1958), the much-loved children’s fantasy book written by Philippa Pearce that I just finished reading. Thanks to my sister who got it for me for Christmas.
Merry Christmas everyone. I won’t be online tomorrow so I’ll wish all you a Merry Christmas today. Keep up all the excellent work on your blogs and I hope you have a wonderful time with family and or friends.
One last photo from the Magical Ice Kingdom.
A montage that captures the different ways you can decorate at Christmas when I was out and about in London.
I really like ice statues. So, I just had to add another batch to my earlier post. Enjoy this new set of photos.
Miranda: Ohh, Advent calendar.
Stevie: Ooh, can I?
Miranda: Together.
Stevie: Oh, where’s the chocolate?
Miranda: Where’s the chocolate? Eaten on the first day of purchase! Who can sit in a room day after day when there are little chocolates behind windows and not remove them, eat them and then replace the windows like nothing ever happened?
Miranda Hart and Sarah Hadland in the British feel-good sitcom Miranda (2009 – 2013). You can find more of the sweet-natured comedy here and here.
I just love ice statues. Especially the ones in Winter Wonderland. They’re so creative and magical, with the lights adding that ethereal touch. Using 500 tonnes of sculptured ice and snow, this year’s theme was a wintry forest, filled with animals including wolves, unicorns and bears. In the first of two posts, please enjoy the display.
I’ve always liked ferris wheels, especially after watching the pivotal scene in The Third Man. So if you like what you see above, why not check out this shot from the same event last year, this photo from Leicester Square or the famous Prater Wheel in Vienna.
