Running out of time!

I am determined NOT to start the New Year still talking about this year.

Prepare for a few long posts in the next few days!

Back to half term and a trip to Attingham hall.

 A few shots of Manchester from my Instagram

And a few random shots from November

 A trip to The Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight.

More costumes from the small screen, this time Downton Abbey.

Some of the clothes worn on set are actual vintage dresses nearly 100 years old.

So a random sort of post.

As it is Christmas Eve I had better pop on something festive, to try and get into the festive spirit......

........I watched my favourite Christmas film...

........Had a wonderful time with my lovely friend and her girls when we went to see Edward Scissorhands at The Lowry, Salford Quays......
