This morning I went out to take some pictures with a friend of mine who is putting a photographic competition together. It's just for fun at our annual Christmas Party. So we spent an hour or so wandering around the village taking pictures. It was so cold, and damp. The light was terrible, but we pretty much managed to get what we needed. My efforts were rewarded with a hot chocolate and a brownie at the coffee shop, so it was well-worth it.
