boxing day ... and the loved one is heading for the sales

and if you stand near enough to it, on tip toe at midnight ... and hold your breath whilst the clock strikes twelve ... then the tree will be filled with singing birds

near broad oak in wealden sussex

the dog and i stroll in the moonlight, oblivious to the cold ... she's the blur at the right of the picture

spot the fallen star

the universal mutt engrossed in her instinctive and perpetual search for the archetypal meta-wabbit

earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone

senor francisco porras ... museum owner ... jarandilla de la vera

i got the impression that mister porras, who has lived in the village all his life, has never thrown anything away

the first impression is of disorder but there turned out to be themes, and everything had been dusted

he charged me more to take these pictures than i paid to enter the prado, or guadalupe, but i didn't grudge the expense as i enjoyed his company and i had waited since last year
