It Never Rains in Southern California


I almost never made it out of heathrow to join my family on our Christmas holiday because of this





and when I finally made it out to California it was raining



monsoon type rain

for days





When the sun dared to show its face again it did so with a spectacular entrance






I didn't manage to do this beautiful rainbow justice on account of only having my iphone with me, but still, you get the general gist



The sun pretty much stuck around for the rest of the trip which was good because it meant that we got to go to the beach



It could be Brighton but it's Santa Monica, promise




That's better




I saw a snowman hoping for some snow






and a dog that looked a bit silly





I went to a secret guest only Foo Fighters gig, no photos allowed, so you'll just have to take my word for it 









I went for a nice walk around a silver lake










A sunset to end this holiday post 
















Our soundtrack of the trip was 


this song at the beginning


this song to go crazy to


this song to set the scene


and this one because we all loved it




Thank you B B and B




Happy New Year

  1. Those photos are BEAUTIFUL!! Especially the monsoon shot--my goodness! The beach shots made me feel warm, which was a very nice change. Looks like you had a nice trip, with about every type of weather. Happy New Year!

  2. Thank you Holly! The warm beach now seems a distant memory. It was sooo cold in the shop today that my nose felt like an iceberg (I hate that) Happy New Year : )
