Merry Christmas!
A few pictures of the usual family festivities in the Parish Hall after the Christmas morning service was done and we could all relax 🙂
Most of these are taken with my Christmas present from my amazing wife- a Lomography Petzval 55mm f/1.7 MKII Art Lens. It’s a modern re-imagining of a 19th century lens design which allows you to subtly adjust the bokeh and also has the option of adding shaped aperture plates- I couldn’t resist using the snowflake one- kitschy but fun 😉












There is a definite learning curve, but I love what I’ve got from it so far!
Then it was on to the presents, including the ever-popular grab-bag with special rules and an amazing riddle-based scavenger hunt by June, our mistress-of-ceremonies.










And finally, food and the usual amazing spread put together by Jackie (with a little help from Stew L.) and lots of fuzzy family time and conversations… and some very tired doggies who had a very busy day!
