📣 Marcel The Shell with Shoes On is on BBC iPlayer for the next 26 days.

If you have a spare 1hr 20mins in the next 26 days, give him a watch - it’s wonderful 🐚

I cannot crochet to save my life, so I tip my hat right back at you! 🎩💜

Now we’ve had Christmas, I can post the picture I made my nephew…given to him eight months later than I would have liked!

It’s 38 x 36cm, the largest cross stitch I’ve ever done, and it’s not perfect, but I’m glad I did it (and I’m glad it’s done!)!

DAY 24 and 25: These two things go together, right…?! 😝 Gorgeous little mug and a tipple I’m saving for New Year’s Eve!

Thanks so much, @melindahaunton.bsky.social!

That’s #YayAdvent over for another year - thanks @gazpachodragon.bsky.social for organising and Merry Christmas, all! 🎄

DAY 23: Now on our Christmas tree at our Christmas cottage!

#YayAdvent

Will have to go next time I’m in London!

DAY 21 and 22: Day 21 was a pair of gold candles already being put to good use and LOOK AT THESE ROMEO AND JULIET SOCKS! 😍

#YayAdvent

DAY 20: A festive hair clip! Adore this!

#YayAdvent

DAY 18 and 19 (and a missing one from above!): Such a cool rubber, festive napkins, and a notebook already in use!

#YayAdvent

#YayAdvent

Never had the sesame bites, they look amazing! Thank you!

DAY 15 and 16: Smellovision needed for this lovely candle!

So…guess who’s been away and forgot to take #YayAdvent…?!

A selection of things from the past few days, including some gorgeous baubles and my wife’s favourite sweets!

DAY 5 and 6: Stickers and tea, both perfect accompaniments to the last bits of wrapping!

#YayAdvent

Aren’t they?! I love #YayAdvent so much, it’s a lovely community and some thoughtful treats every year!

DAY 3 and 4: Gingerbread spices, which I’m going to bake with next weekend, and some stickers, which is perfect as I’m wrapping my posted presented today!

#YayAdvent

DAY 2: The ONE thing I forgot to add to this week’s shopping, and I have six trains between now and the next lot of shopping - hurrah!

Glad you like the box - and the sprout! Happy #YayAdvent!

Any fans of Labyrinth out there?

🐛’Ello!

Look at my first advent present (and my #GoodOmens pyjamas!) They are felt tree decorations!

Brilliant present after Labyrinth in concert at @southbankcentre.bsky.social on Friday night!

Thanks to @gazpachodragon.bsky.social for organising #YayAdvent and to @melindahaunton.bsky.social for being my Yay Advent partner for this year!

DAY 1: A miniature ceramic mushroom and chocolate coins so my wife can join in, too!

Will be trying to keep the numbers for next year!

We went on a Norfolk Photography Walks event today for Tulips for Tapping, a local hospice.

Some of our favourites 📸:

Made an account to try and encourage me to leave my office a little more and share some photos-welcome to my beach, which I don’t see often enough!

Alan Menken at the London Palladium!
