When we moved house and got into the back garden we soon realised that we were sharing our space with lots of frogs who seem to love the place as much as we do. Little did I know our front garden was soon to be the delivery suite of a whole host more! I had tadpoles as a child, so when Princess J found a huge amount of frog spawn in our pond, we were both pretty excited about watching it as it turned into hundreds of tadpoles. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately!) nature was harsh... the birds were well fed, the neighbours' cats found entertainment, and on a few occasions I forgot about the running hose and our pond turned into a flowing stream (sorry to all those tadpoles who never made it into my rescue glass!) After months of watering the pond multiple times a day, watching for any changes and Princess J being surprised by big momma frog hiding under a rock, our tadpoles have finally found their feet! While the number of tadpole siblings dramatically decreased, our little patch of the earth is home to an 'army' of frogs who, at the minute, are so small that they can fit into the head of the hose - just like little froggy above! I just hope they don't live up to their name...

A lovely Saturday with some of my favourites, and my English favourites too! And some of Aaron's shots from the day Jack frost, crisp and cold, hats and gloves, warm hands to hold.
Party season with some mulled wine, glitzy dresses that really shine. Shopping days and family nights, Christmas trees with shining lights. Santa’s sleigh and a bright red nose, fire lit as little eyes close. But don’t forget why Christmas is here, remember that our Saviour is near! Peace, faith, hope and love: the greatest story, sent from above. Another commission I couldn't resist sharing.... it may be getting cold outside, but don't you just love the colours of this season we've been blessed with?!
