♪ The 12 Days of Christmas ♫
Two festive factoids I read today: If you gave all the gifts listed in the 12 Days of Christmas, it would equal 364 gifts.

In the 17th century, Oliver Cromwell banned Christmas pudding, mince pies and anything to do with gluttony. The law has never been rescinded!

These are wonderful. I love the way you have framed them. Oliver Cromwell has a lot to answer for. He is credited with chopping down the oak forest here where the Scottish Kings had hunted but I don't know how much truth there is in the story.

Every issue, every number, is really interesting and very well photographed.
I really liked the number 9 with the ballerina, but the other subjects are also very pleasant.
Dear Rosa, unfortunately I have little time for IP, but I don't want to give up making you my best wishes for a Merry Christmas.
All the best
