I can't believe I'm still sharing photos from last year in these Sunday Shan clan posts!! But Mrs Shan takes an awful lot of photos, and I don't like to share more than four at a time, so we're still going, but nearly -- NEARLY! -- there.

The first of this week's batch dates back to last October, and sees Dante and Gaia pulling faces in the bedroom -- something they're VERY good at!!!

The second was taken on Halloween, when Gaia dressed up as a skeleton.

The third and fourth both date back to a pre-Christmas holiday in Center Parcs Ireland. In the third, we're walking through a lovely part of the forest that had been set up as an interactive light and music show. And the fourth was taken when we went to visit Santa -- and yes, Dante IS dabbing -- maybe that's why Santa didn't bring him any presents last year!!! (Joking!!)

-----------------

If YOU want to have a photo taken with me (no dabbing!!!!), I'll be making my first public appearance in almost three years at the Tunbridge Wells Literary Festival on Saturday, April 30th, at 2pm. I'm not quite sure if anyone's going to want to get too close to me for a photo in these COVID-ravaged times, but as long as the organisers allow it, I'm game if any of you guys are!!
