Three conies, one of the old Hook Norton tied houses inn signs on display in the Fox Hotel, Chipping Norton.

Christmas decoration on one of a pair of hounds flanking the elaborate front entrance to one of the houses on the main street of the Cotswold town of Chipping Campden.

More doorknockers, again mainly on wildlife themes. A stone painted with a gecko has sneaked in, edging the street-front garden of the same person displaying the geckos in yeaterday’s set.

Animated singing reindeer at Codsall and Wergs Garden Centre, which proved a hit with toddlers. They had mouths moving in time to the singing. When the song had female voice only, the one on the left operated, the one on the right for a male voice.

Merry Christmas.

A break from the usual wildlife and nature pictures for Christmas. Figurative doorknockers and suchlike. Mainly portraying animals, wild and domesticated, though a mermaid and a galleon have sneaked in too.
