It is that time of the year where we unpack those boxes that have been consuming vast amounts of space in our garage most of the year (Yes weh have been collecting for several years now)
Mess with those pesky light bulbs and determine which ones will work another year and which ones will be discarded. This year the theme has changed slightly and the plywood was carved into various shapes and sizes. 
As you can see we have a wonderful new addition of penguins to dance the night away.
Last year we were able to get a great deal on a musical box (the controls the lights to music) in the new years sales. This year it has found its place in controlling the display, so aside from just having permanantly on lights, they now flash to a rythm.
We did however bring out our good old roundabout and made it home to the newly crafted snowman, who have been a favorite with many of the school kids that come round. Of course our Electric bill likes to climb a bit during this festive season too.
Have a wonderful, happy and peaceful Christmas this year
As usual this page always takes the back seat for being undated. Just been down to the beach and had a great relaxing time away from all technology and just family and pets. The time spent was great, especialy watching the sunrise early in the mornings and the birds that were making the most of the clear beaches before the general puplic came along and took up their daily beachcoming activities .
That is when I found out why it was so named - Once inside the pub, it is plastered on the walls, ceilings and basically anywhere that is viewable with Saucers (plates). Was a great place - and certainly a huge variety of beers and other beverages. Unfortunately the amount of smoke was just too much for me to stay longer than about an hour. As I walked out there was the sun starting to settle just behind the horizon. I tried to get to a vantage point to take a picture , but alas was unable to get there before the colours had disapated. I did manage however to capture this shot while in the traffic waiting for the lights to change.
