Love it Rocky! 

Nice one Rocky.

I will have to find a few pics to send on here.

Explanation: The two dominant galaxies near center are far far away, 12 million light-years distant toward the northern constellation of the Great Bear. On the right, with grand spiral arms and bright yellow core is spiral galaxy M81. Also known as Bode's galaxy, M81 spans some 100,000 light-years. On the left is cigar-shaped irregular galaxy M82. The pair have been locked in gravitational combat for a billion years. Gravity from each galaxy has profoundly affected the other during a series of cosmic close encounters. Their last go-round lasted about 100 million years and likely raised density waves rippling around M81, resulting in the richness of M81's spiral arms. M82 was left with violent star forming regions and colliding gas clouds so energetic that the galaxy glows in X-rays. In the next few billion years, their continuing gravitational encounters will result in a merger, and a single galaxy will remain. This extragalactic scenario also includes other members of the interacting M81 galaxy group with NGC 3077 below and right of the large spiral, and NGC 2976 at upper right in the frame. Captured under dark night skies in the Austrian Alps, the foreground of the wide-field image is filled with integrated flux nebulae. Those faint, dusty interstellar clouds reflect starlight above the plane of our own Milky Way galaxy.

That was lovely Carol  x

Thank you for sharing your lovely photo Caz x

ty Clare. I love to see pics of members every day goings on, here. It somehow keeps us more connected seeing personal family pics and events during our day to day lives, don't you think?

This was me and my 2 eldest kids out for lunch yesterday. It's rare to find them both off work at the same time so I defo had to take advantage and arrange a lunch time meet up

Nice one Caz.

The old games are always the best at Nan's house. x

3 of my grand children ages 18, 16 and 15 now with their Auntie Chels on Christmas Day.

 I always had my spare bedroom as a 'toy room' for them with a bed and furniture in too for when they wanted to stay at nans. I was absolutely overjoyed when Liam, the 16 year old said 'nan, do you still have all the games and toys upstairs?' and when he knew I did, both boys ran up to dig out and play some of the games I've had since they were babies....awwww. The lit candle by the tree is their pops(Paul), Chelseas dads candle so he could be part of them playing too xxxxx

Thank you for sharing your lovely photos, this is a fun thread.
