Christmas Gallery

2009

Jay is delighted with Clyde’s new home: here he is on his hillside (right) with glorious views across the Vale of Evesham towards the Malverns Although Clyde has retired, Jay occasionally borrows another pony, Fuego, to ride (far right)
Bleak tops to the hills in early December
Our tree (right), very fresh and bushy. Among the decorations, a set of figures from The Nutcracker, which can just be seen in the detail (far right), appropriately in view of the visit to the ballet just after Christmas

	We put together a short Christmas concert as usual, with very amateur contributions from Teresa and Roger, rather more polished from Helen and Jay. But we also had fun with a set of hand-bells from Christmas crackers – Roger giving it his all (left) Roger and Helen relax after Christmas lunch (right)
	The girls went to see The Nutcracker at the Royal Ballet. Here they are in Covent garden (left) and with the giant green reindeer (right)
