It's that time of year when S. Cots compete to wear silly Christmas decorations - and this year's winner?
An alternative view
Runners up
And Patrick
We leave Amberley - heading across the Common
Is Mike heading back?
More colourful hats - it's Brian's birthday
An Englishman's home is his castle
We drop down from the Common
Don't know what happened to Frosty the Snowman
The view across the valley
As we follow the road
Plenty of old man's beard
Reaching the ice cream shop for a dollop of Christmas pudding ice cream
Then over to the car park on Rodborough Common to celebrate Brian's birthday - unfortunately the wind blew the candle out
But we still enjoy cakes and a glass of port courtesy of Sally, Keith and Francesca
Transported to the CP by Francesca's daughter Francesca
Before heading down
Round Rodborough Fort
Where we look down across the valley
An entrance to the fort
Crossing the Common past the Baden Powell trees back to the Bear
