Bad Winds, Bad Drivers, & Shiny Sequins!

December

Welcome to my December. 

 Time for the sequins to come out again ;)

1: Warm Space:

2:Body Camera and low lying sun problems:

I have now got a body camera over Christmas.

My Supervisor wore it, and the very first time she walked in the road, she nearly got run over. The low lying sun blocked the license plate of the offending car. Week later, someone tried to run me over while I was in the middle of the road. This time, I got the offending license plate to report them to the Police!

3:Storm Darragh

We were going to see Human League in concert on the 7th December and stop overnight in a nice hotel in Birmingham. Due to the storm arriving, a tree blocked the train track and we couldn't leave Redditch. Walked back home with our suit cases in the heavy rain and wind, our front garden took the brunt of the storm!

4: Making Christmas Decorations in Droitwich.

5: Sequins, and Warm Space.

I was nice to have our children stop over for Christmas :)

10: Visited Stratford upon Avon 

11: Betty the Gerbil enjoying some Turkish Box of Delights

12: I got my crucial haircut before New Year's Eve.

The hairdresser normally only cuts men's hair. So it was the first time he attempted to cut lady's hair. Nice short back and sides.

He did a really good job :)

14: Stopping up to watch the fireworks..

We didn't to toast in the New Year, as we were catching a train very early on New Year's Day! 

Happy New Year to you all 🎆🎇
