Christmas with the Turnbulls at Hayes.

1237 is a rather blurred picture of Exmouth Church at night.

1239 shows the Christmas cake. Note the snowman with a flame coming out of his
head. 1240 shows the unusual material properties of royal icing.

1242, 1243, 1244, 1245, 1246, 1247, 1248, 1250, 1251, 1252, 1253, 1254, 1257,
1258, 1262, 1264 and 1267 are of an afternoon walk along the sea front and
cliffs at Budleigh Salterton. 1242 shows Susannah and my mum reflected in a
puddle. 1243, 1251, 1252 and 1253 show the sunset. 1247 shows that the tide is
out. The river Otter flows out by the rocks, but you'd never know it from this
angle. 1248 shows Marion taking silly pictures of Damian. 1254 shows my dad
ignoring good advice. 1257 shows actual snow on the ground on Christmas day.
The bookies must be miffed. 1262 shows Marion and the moon. 1264 shows pebbles
and rather dramatic post-sunset clouds. 1267 is of that puddle again.

1269, 1275, 1277, 1280, 1281, 1282, 1284, 1285, 1286, 1290, 1292, 1293, 1295,
1297, 1299, 1302, 1303, 1304 are of Christmas dinner. They are mainly of the
decorations and the people round the table. Highlights: 1295 shows Marion with
Shrek ears; 1302 shows the flaming pudding; 1303 goes with 1304. Attributions:
1282 by my mum; 1284, 1285, 1286, 1290, 1292, 1293, 1297, 1299 by Marion, who
is really much better than me at photographing people; 1295 by my Dad?

1306 and 1309 (by Marion) shows me with Shrek ears using the wireless (just
installed).

Good ones: 1251, 1253, 1257, 1264, 1275, 1285, 1286, 1292, 1295, 1297, 1299,
1306, 1309.
