I find the two people Christmas hard to do actually but we usually just enjoy the time together. <br />Pelicans are interesting ones and even more interesting up close. Such a big, chunky, clumsy looking bird yet it isn't at all. They also seem to have quite a personality hidden behind that calm, aloft look they have. Looking at Storm Boy in school must be interesting and fun. I think I recall analysing the movie at some stage in school ... or maybe we just watched it as an end of year or term treat.<br />Merry Christmas to you and yours as well and all the best for the coming year. I am loving the glimpse into your new venture and hope you are having a ball with it.CountryMousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799779599751379129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639786345727326246.post-47822618426620077432015-12-08T08:15:58.484+10:002015-12-08T08:15:58.484+10:00Thank you and it is a lovely space.

I enjoyed your lovely pelican photos ... Sally and I've just been 'analysing' Colin Thiele's 'Storm Boy' for English and I've a newfound love of them. If I don't get another opportunity - wishing you and your Sparky a joyous Christmas and all the best for 2016.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228055607565871872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639786345727326246.post-85828101233307763632015-12-07T20:33:37.775+10:002015-12-07T20:33:37.775+10:00Oh how gorgeous are the lily pads...
