   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 Â鶹Éç 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 :-(
