Clowning around

It's all going too fast ! Still so much to do before the year is over ...
These four Christmas gnomes/clowns kept me company while I made pizza for the boys. I needed them for the last Alphabet Challenge this year on Flickr but I'm thinking they'd certainly qualify for Silly Saturday too.
Thanks to Willemien/admirer for hosting that funny challenge.

Now the next task will be the thing I have been postponing until the last, the cleaning of the deep-fryer ... needed as I'm baking  the traditional New Year's Eve oliebollen tomorrow ...

In the extras a collage of favourite shots from our travels this past year

Thanks very much for your kind comments and stars for yesterday's laurel wreath :-)
