After what has been a bizarre year, I wanted to wish all my readers, social media followers and podcast listeners a very happy Christmas. May Christmas 2020 be COVID-free, peaceful and bring some light to what is proving to be a challenging time for us all.
The photograph I have published here is in stark contrast to the Christmas image I posted in 2019 and shows how much things have changed. The image I posted in 2019 (which you can see here) was taken in Trafalgar Square in London after I’d had birthday and Christmas drinks with my friend Tim in a pub just round the corner. With Tim’s birthday being in late December, it’s something of an annual occasion.
This year Tim and I plus a few other friends had drinks via Zoom and the image above was taken just a few miles from home. In fact I haven’t been into Central London since March!
Anyway, whatever you are doing for Christmas 2020, I hope your celebrations go well. Although we had other plans, our celebrations have been scaled back. It will just be Mrs Adams and I plus Helen and Izzy.
Nonetheless, I feel very lucky that we have each other and that we are healthy and safe. I think we all know that not everyone will be so fortunate. My thoughts are with everyone who is ill, caring for someone who is ill, isolated or in a dangerous domestic position this Christmas.
That said, I hope everyone gets some respite this Christmas. Here’s hoping that vaccine can be rolled out and we can look forward to a future that isn’t constrained by social distancing, tiers and all the other COVID restrictions.
Note for any keen blog readers of photographers: I will be adding this post to the #MySundayPhoto linky hosted by the amazing Darren Coleshill photography blog. Follow this link to visit Darren’s blog.

It was a picture that simply had to be taken Darren! There was a Nativity scene up vy the door of the Church and I tried photographing that as well but it just didn’t come out right. Happy new year to you.
Glad you still had a lovely Christmas and I wish you all a happy new year. A very different one for me on my own, but all ok. I will be having the vaccine early in the new year before I return to the UK. #mysundayphoto

Thank yo uDawn. As with most people, it wasn’t the Christmas we had planned but yes, we had a fun time.
What a lovely photo. I hope you all had a good Christmas.
We just had the five of us at home together, but we went for walk with my mum in the afternoon. In many ways, it wasn’t that different from usual and we were still able to enjoy it.
Great to hear you still had a good day Sarah. That’s the most important thing.
