Just the usual fleeting message to wish all of my readers a very merry Christmas! I hope santa is very generous and your Christmas is filled with joy, happiness and laughter!

Sunday evening I was driving home through Norwich when I turned a corner and came across a woman furiously waving her arms in the air. She was stood over the body of a man lying in the middle of the road.

I stopped the car and rushed over. The women told me he had stumbled into the road and she had hit him with her car. The man had a large gash on his head and was covered in blood. Fortunately he was conscience so I asked him to keep hold of his head and not move in case he had any other injuries.

The previous picture was taken in Lanzarote last year and was getting a little out of date. I decided to stick with the theme and take another photo in Portugal this year. My method; find a nondescript, yet distinctly arty door, stand in front of it, arms crossed and make it appear as though I’m guarding it!
