We bought a delightful Advent calendar for one of our LiveWires, the Wild Advent Colouring Book – British Wildlife Edition, and she has been sending us the pictures as she colours them in. We love her precision and care.
Tomorrow’s cake for the volunteers is a lemon sponge in the shape of a Christmas tree.
I’m loving the effect of my trying to take Christmas lights from a moving car, being driven by my lovely Mr S.

What a delightful calendar and your grandchild takes great care with the colouring. Your light photos are great. I tried it on a low exposure and moving the camera. Easier from a moving car. 🙂

I’d love to see your photos with the low exposure. It’s fun playing around with a camera. 🙂

Such a fun post!
It appears your grandchild is a natural artist. Nice shading with the colors!

She’s so careful with her work and likes it all to be the best. 🙂

your Live Wire has a true artist’s eye. How old is she?

Thank you, yes, she is very careful and pays attention to small detail. She’s 12 years old. 🙂
