After all the madness of the weeks and day's leading up to Christmas I was glad to have a quieter day today. The sun was shinning lovely so I took off to a local park for a walk and to feed the ducks. It was nice to get some fresh air and be in the sunshine after weeks of rainy damp weather.
A pair of herons were on the furthest bank of the pond, lovely to see them back again.
And a friendly robin sat long enough for me to get a nice photo, I usually take some bird food with but I'd forgotten, I feel sure he would have come closer if I'd had some.
I had an hour in the garden, just a general tidy up, there are still lots of leaves in the boarders but I'm not too worried about those, they will be harbouring some tasty bugs for the birds.
Christmas Day is always busy and yesterday was no different We go to see the children and grandchildren and take the presents Santa has left at our house, seeing the kids opening their presents does make it all worth while, I love seeing how excited they get.
We went out for our Christmas dinner this year, Stevie and Darren came with us, the meal was ok, it's never quite the same as your own roast dinner is it? but it saved cooking and I just wasn't up to having all the mess with cooking this year so I enjoyed it. We had a 1.30 sitting and it was nice to come back and just chill out for the rest of the afternoon.
Tomorrow is my birthday, not sure if we are doing anything yet, if the weather is nice again it would be good to get out for a bit, we'll see.
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas day and are now enjoying some relaxation time.

Merry Christmas to you Maggie and I hope you have a lovely birthday too. Here in New Zealand we are having unseasonal rain in some areas which rather spoils summer holidays for many.
Happy birthday for tomorrow, hope you get loads of lovely surprises.
