It’s funny how something you are dreading can turn out to be such a pleasure. It’s all about context really I suppose. It was so nice to spend time doing something together, especially when she was so happy with the final result. #doodleaday

Then followed by 20 minutes of sweeping and vacuuming because, you know, bare feet and all that. There’s bound to be a bit hiding somewhere too… #doodleaday

Nothing very special - just little things like adding sun-dried tomatoes and garlic to roasted peppers. Tiny touches to liven stuff up. It’s always fun experimenting with new combinations… #doodleaday

Although I stand by the detail that if you can get up unaided, it’s still just ‘falling over’. #doodleaday

One of the (many) things I love about them is that the shows work for the whole family. Clever and silly in equal measures - a cracking way to kick off our theatrical year. #doodleaday @christmasgoeswrong.bsky.social

Same applies to Goes Wrong Show and Detectorists! #doodleaday

We are so lucky having all these beautiful places to visit - and doubly lucky with the weather. I love winter sunshine. #doodleaday

A complex list of who is where and when, who likes what, what last until when… honestly, after all that I could do with some time off… oh, wait… #doodleaday

The stream of consciousness remains (long-time followers will be familiar) but some of the content has changed… a bit… Never a dull moment! #doodleaday

No one is quite sure why it’s called Boxing Day - some say is because the Christmas boxes were re-used to give presents to the servants or the poor & needy. It’s a good a reason as any, I suppose! #hotsanta #christmastraditions

Nothing wrong with a bit of reflection from time to time I guess. Hopefully it leads to positive thinking for the year ahead. #doodeaday

Christmas Day swim - For those who don’t find December cold enough for their liking, there’s always the option of a bracing sea swim - and the 100-yard swim in Hyde Park’s Serpentine Lake on Christmas morning dates back to 1864. #hotsanta #doodleaday #christmastraditions

I do love the complex history of our favourite seasonal figure. #doodleaday #hotsanta #christmastraditions

I love being Santa but it’s always nice to get the big beard off for a few months!!! #doodleaday

I’m so lucky to get to do this. To meet such lovely kids and spread a little magic. Feeling very fuzzy and warm after all that!! #doodleaday

 In 1822 when Clement C Moore drew in the legends of St Nick in his poem T’was The Night Before Christmas, he described him as a fur clad, chubby little imp. It was this poem that led to the creation of the modern Santa Claus. #hotsanta #doodleaday #christmastraditions

The figure of Father Christmas first appeared during the 1650s, when the Puritans banned the festive season. The wise old man appeared on pamphlets praising the revels of the past above the gloom of the present day. #hotsanta #doodleaday #christmastraditions

YULE features the Holly King (also blended as King Winter) a traditional figure, often with helpers like Jack Frost who brings snow, ice, and holiday treats. #doodleady #hotsanta #Christmastraditions
