The big thaw

Yesterday there were these

And these

 

And these

And these - but like the snow and Christmas - they have all gone!

It's all over

The presents have been opened

Lots of quizzical looks

Plenty of 'Ooohs and 'Ahhs'

Nanny had to help with the big ones

Especially when there is lots of  bubble wrap inside

All the mince pies, sausage rolls, Christmas goodies, chocolates, nuts, crisps have been eaten.

The visitors have gone back to their own homes, leaving wonderful memories, of laughter and fun to savour for the rest of the year.

Christmas is over
