My first year as a "real" adult, having recently graduated was an interesting one, partly becuase i had no real terms to judge holidays by, and also because my family's christmas day wouldn't be the traditional affair it has always been.
It happens to nearly every family, but it felt strange this year that my older sister wasn't around on christmas day, and i didnt see my older brother at home. We also went to visit my auntie instead of staying at home for christmas day, which brought its own adventure. (If at first you don't see the road, try going further before turning around and approacing from the other side of town)
There wasn't any real snow to talk of in cardiff, just a light fall that turned into ice overnight, but in milford there was good crunchy stuff, and i took the opportunity to take some pictures of this rare event.
While i was on the common a robin came and landed on a branch by my head, i hadn't expected a robin to come so close and even when he hopped away he didn't go ar so i tried to take some pictures of him. He must have known what i was up to because he barely gave me any time to focus and frame up before he hopped off somewhere else!
After a few minutes though i managed to get this picture, which i think is a cracking shot of a cheeky little fat bird.
