Christmas day Swim4Felix (Nativity theme) 2009

Madness it seem, but all for a good cause. Dressed as Nativity characters we all jumped in the sea this morning (not for long I can tell you - it was freezing).

Here's what it was all about. Swim4Felix

Snow Day......

Brighton Snow

Chaos as usual for a few inches of snow - buses grounded etc! But what fun. This is taken of our office terrace with the snowy Brighton rooftops beyond.

A slight departure.....

....as this is clearly not Brighton! This is the view from the south bank of the Thames towards the city. between London Bridge and Tower Bridge.

Salvation Army

Playing some lovely brass band carols for the shoppers in the North Laines. Magic.

Mulled wine anyone?

The first time....

....in months, perhaps years I've seen the Royal Pavillion without any scaffolding on the fascia. Looked lovely this morning with the morning sun on it.

Put a skip in my step........

Crisp morning, crisp lines

Any guesses as to which building in Brighton this is?

Scooter mania

Beautifully etched glass signs at the entrance to Jamie's italian depict the iconic Vespa Scooter!

Beach hut advent calendar!

A group of Christmas hearted folk are taking over 24 beach huts on the run up to Xmas. Each night one of the beach huts will be decorated inside/outside with a carol or theme of Christmas. Mulled wine and mince pies are served to those that go along. Yesterday's theme was "Hark the herald angels sing"

Here's more about the Beach Hut Advent Calendar

Snowman Spectacular

My (hard grafting) wife has been working for Chestnut Tree House Hospice to help put on a spectacular ball which took place on Friday at the Metropole.

The Snowman Spectacular was an amazing success and loads of cash was raised. Well done to all for the many months hard work and preparation - it was a cracking night.

Mighty fine

At Christmas time down on the coast.

Holidays a coming.....

.....The tree's gone up in our office today....Ho Ho Ho

Holidays are coming.....

.....and to prove it - our mini Xmas market is installed at the entrance the Churchill Shopping Centre.

Ring ting tingling feeling yet?
