Christmas - the Aftermath

Sadie is woken up from sleep on Boxing Day and counts her toes to make sure they're all still there, watched by Yojojo and Lau-Lau. On 27th she is out for a walk with Mummy.

Christmas Part Three

Sadie takes on Daddy at air hockey and scores a goal.

Christmas Part Two

Wear this 'at, Sadie. Not on your nelly, granny!

Sadie's Big Christmas Prezzie

Her daddy put the kitchen together without any swearing, and it was an instant success. It has an oven on one side and a dishwasher on the other. (What will a girl grow up expecting?) And there is a fish to put in the frying pan and a tin of soup.

Painting with Granny

Sadie liked the type of painting where you just brush water onto the picture and the colours emerge.

Beach Road

This is the road at Happisburgh that is falling into the sea. Six houses were scheduled for demolition, and show signs of having been vacated in a hurry. The back garden in the third pic has almost gone, and the white bungalow is the last house left on the street.

The North Sea

The new sea defences (or even de-fences) at Happisburgh in Norfolk.

Bulls, Cows and Pups

Seals on the beach at Horsey in Norfolk yesterday.

The Latest Model

Sadie models the new Turbo 800 washing machine.

Early Christmas Prezzie

Sadie's uncle and aunt Steve and Jules are off to New Zealand for Christmas, so they gave Sadie her present early, a lovely poncho. She pretended to be playing a pan pipe, but it was a red pen!

Acrobird

For quite large birds, short-eared owls are very agile. Even fast drive rates get only two or three frames before the bird is on the ground.
