2025: In Pictures
31 December 2025: Red Cord
I've had my eye on this shirt for a while so when it was reduced after Christmas I snapped it up.
30 December 2025: Best
I'm unsure what it is that they do best in Byker but I don't think I'll hang around long enough to find out.
29 December 2025: Reading
Perfect activities for that awkward period between Christmas and New Year - reading and eating crisps.
28 December 2025: Gonk
Louis got us a gonk for Christmas. He's taken his place next to the wrestlers.
27 December 2025: Bridge
I had to burn off some of the Christmas calories with a walk. This bridge was looking super cute in the low winter sun.
26 December 2025: Mam
The family gathered round at Mam's to celebrate Boxing Day so of course I had to have a photo with the legend herself.
25 December 2025: Christmas Dinner
We had a chilled Christmas at home with a nice dinner.
24 December 2025: Presents
Some of my Christmas presents to myself.
23 December 2025: Beard
You may think I bought this out of a sense of festivity but honestly I just thought the beard looked really soft. It was.
22 December 2025: Scrooge
Looking alarmingly like I did when my alarm went off this morning.
21 December 2025: Tidy Shelves
Our dining room was incredibly messy and the bookshelves were making me feel ill so I got to work tidying them up. It looked a little better
when I was finished.
20 December 2025: Misty Spoon
Seghill was looking strangely atmospheric this morning.
19 December 2025: Caged Mouse
So far I think I've enjoyed it more than Sally.
18 December 2025: Tandoori Broccoli
Khai Khai's tandoori broccoli is absolutely sublime.
17 December 2025: Cattitude
The attitude on this cat is something else. She was not impressed that we were watching football again.
16 December 2025: Cards
We never send cards so it's nice that some people are far more thoughtful than we are.
15 December 2025: Mallow & Mulled
Marshmallow and mulled wine sounds like a bloody awful combination.
14 December 2025: Dr Bear
My recent visit to church ended with me being handed a teddy bear. I wasn't going to say no.
13 December 2025: Tennis Gates
I assume they made the gates specifically for tennis courts rather than needing to find a use for a design that was already done.
12 December 2025: Carol Service
I had my arm twisted to join Noirin at the local church carol service and then had it firmly wrenched out of its socket to stand at the front and do a reading. Anyway, what's going on with baby Jesus' arms in this picture?
11 December 2025: Skiing Snowman
Nothing says Christmas like a snowman carrying skis outside a patriotic community centre.
10 December 2025: Fleece
I recently got this fleecy hoody which is even warmer than expected.
9 December 2025: Branches
Devoid of leaves, as is tradition for this time of year.
8 December 2025: Yorkie Wrap
I started my week off work having lunch with the adults, featuring this lovely yorkshire pudding wrap with turkey and stuffing.
7 December 2025: Festive Postbox
The Seaton Delaval postbox has had a festive makeover.
6 December 2025: Newcastle 2-1 Burnley
I had Caroline's ticket for the match. The performance wasn't one to remember but I'll happily take the 3 points.
5 December 2025: Star
I hope no wise men are following this star because there's nothing wise about ending up in the middle of Eldon Square in the run up to
Christmas.
4 December 2025: Fingerless Gloves
I'm not sure I'm the sort of person that can pull off wearing fingerless cashmere gloves but I'm prepared to give it a go.
3 December 2025: Thermal Hat
It absolutely envelopes my tiny head but at least it's warm.
2 December 2025: Advent Calendar
It was more expensive than the other ones but I bloody love a bit of biscoff chocolate.
1 December 2025: Teddy Fleece
Few things please me more than a warm item of clothing to wear around the house.
