Alternative advent calendar #23

2013 has seen me posting on this little blog more than any other year, I can't say that all of the posts have been quality but I've enjoyed writing them (I hope you've enjoyed reading them).  Here is a small collection of some of my favourite posts of 2013...

16/02/13 "Cloud Collection" Granted this isn't the most exciting post in all the world but I do love a good cloud photo and this post had a lot of them!

06/04/13 "Allotment Geekery" I'm including this post because it was so exciting to see my lovely seeds doing well and to be back in the growing season on the allotment, this year has been a good allotment year for us, may we have many more to come!

14/06/13 "France: all the greens" I spent a gorgeous week in France with my family in June.  The weather was hot, we had bbqs, sat out in the sun sipping French cider and just totally relaxed.

03/07/13 "London: The South Bank" OK so the photography in this post isn't amazing, but the day was.  I had travelled up to London for a conference and decided to spend the weekend visiting my brother.  We went into London and had a touristy day visiting the London Eye and the London Aquarium.  I loved it!

04/08/13 "Garden Geekery" I made more effort with my Garden this year and thoroughly enjoyed the process of planning and planting.  I think the glorious weather in the summer helped and that tons of foxgloves have decided to seed in our garden.

26/08/13 "Paris: Disneyland" Being witness to my nieces first trip to Disneyland was one of the highlights of my year.  Missy Big in particular was about to pop with all the Disney Princess joy!

29/09/13 "Shrooms!" Autumn around these parts was an absolute corker, MozzyMr and I took full advantage of the forests so near to us and stomped through fallen leaves and photographed lots of mushrooms!

27/10/13 "The Drowned Man: A Hollywood Fable" Am I still going on about this?  Yes I bloody am, don't judge me!  This play has been such an eye opener and has encouraged me to engage more with cultural experiences.

10/11/13 "Getting to grips with art" Listening to this years Reith Lectures was a real joy and has switched me on to more of what Radio 4 has to offer. (Yes that was the sound of me crossing the line into middle age.)
