Goose-stepping Pheasant

Today my second little photo book arrived. Again, I'm very pleased with it. It's a small, square paperback, 7"x7", and was undamaged despite being opened en route from the printers by Dutch Customs. I wonder what could be suspicious about such a slim, classic package? (See Extras.)

Was catching up with some reading this morning when Sir Percival Pheasant* passed the window, had a good look in, and continued on his way through the garden. (*Named after a pheasant in a children's picture book from many moons ago.) 

Spent the afternoon on a crochet project (of which more anon), and in knitting a new addition to my knitted Christmas tree - a little snowman (another Extra). Hard to credit it must be two years ago, not one, since I was knitting a new ornament almost every day, before our move to Lincolnshire. In fact, the first one is here!
