Austria here we come!

A small cat, en route to Austria.

Market time.

 An evening of pig roundabouts,
 candy floss,
beer and kebabs. Perfect!

Artwork

 Genius artwork. Five years old and way better than anything Dad could draw. 

Gingy

 Fierce concentration from the ladies
 The gingerbread person is looking good...
The only question is - who gets to eat it? 

An angel, an elf and a Santa

 A touch of the nerves strikes whilst exchanging pleasantries with an angel
 Slightly more relaxed with the elf.
Totally star-struck by an audience with Santa.

The closest we have ever come to a snowy christmas!

 Ok, so it's hail.....but that's still a kind of snow...
 and it tastes like snow....
who knows.....maybe we will get real snow at Christmas....

All done. Perfect!

Christmas hols are here!

Getting some shut-eye on the morning flight to Berlin. 

Christmas cookie time!!

 Bake time - a tray full of Christmas cookies.
 I'll have a few of those in my lunchbox I think!

Advent calendars - the joy of Christmas.

 Note the dressing gown. First job of the day (6am) is to open the calendar door...

Christmas is coming!

We found a tree!! Sold 'under the counter' at the Filipino supermarket. 

Grumpy

Tinkerbell on her head, Tinkerbell in her hands, yet still grumpy. Must be something serious...

The floods




International day

Another chance to wear Grandpa's Geisha outfit...Yay!!!

Rosie and Alishia. The terrible two
Rosie, Alishia, Monica and Nabiha. The posse.

Jeddah life



Harley Davidson KSA

 The bikes
The old man dreaming....

Bed time

 Time for bed...
 perhaps five minutes of silliness first...
Oh dear...this doesn't look like a sleepy child.
Five minutes of Charlie and Lola might do the trick...

Final swim of the year

 Rosie looks more relaxed about it than her Dad.....
Graceful mermaid.

Lunch with the ponies


Beach time!




The sign of a good day on the beach. A crashed out child.
