Photo Scavenger Hunt: December

And so 2013 has drawn to a close and the New Year has arrived. I think December's Scavenger Hunt photos are a good reflection of my Christmas which was a perfect mix of quiet and busy times. Thanks once again to Greenthumb of Made with Love for organising the Hunt.


Silver : Frosty the snowman tempting us in to buy lots of sparkly goodies to decorate our homes.


Movement : Less tempting to me was this fairground ride, entertaining the shoppers. I am never ever ever getting up there!


Candles : Carols by candlelight - one of my favourite moments every year.


Religious icon : The crib at church.


Words : Merry Christmas!


Shiny : Baubles on the tree.


Window display : Candles and poinsettias in my window.


Christmas : Dinner at Mum and Dad's.


Cake : Mum's Christmas cake with icing as white as the tablecloth.


25 : On a dustbin, no doubt filled with the remains of the festive period.


Recipe : Ingredients for the festive season and mine was lucky enough to contain all of them.


Celebration : Seeing in the New Year with friends of my Mum and Dad and the sounds of Big Ben. Today we have my parents and my daughter's boyfriend and his parents coming to dinner. On the menu is Nigella's ham in cola. I've never made it before but it's looking good so far - fingers crossed!

Thank you all so much for visiting during 2013 and your lovely comments. Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2014. xxx

    Wonderful photos right from the get go! What a shot of looking up at that fairground ride ~ I'm with you, never get me up there. For some reason, many people love such things...;) Your Christmas dinner looks delicious and hope your recipe for dinner turned out well. Happy to hear you enjoyed a lovely Christmas, and hope you and your family have a happy and healthy New Year.

    The nativity photo is my favorite.

    Nigella makes ham in cola? She stole that from a Southern kitchen, I swear! ;-)
    Happy New Year!
