We recently went to Louth in Lincolnshire. A favourite place of ours and I photographed the Christmas Santa Fun Run. Held for the 2nd year it attracted over 500 runners of all ages and abilities, running for charity. I took around 250 photo's but don't worry, here are just a few.

 |
| More Santas heading for the start. |
 |
| Popcorn was a bit confused! |
 |
| Almost time for the start |
 |
| The massed start coming towards us. |
 |
| This little girl was finding it all a bit overawing. |
 |
| Leaders coming round on lap two. |
 |
| This young runner was determined to beat dad. |
 |
| Early finishes, with medals around their necks, watching for family & friends coming home. |
 |
| Lots of fun around the finish area. |
 |
| More finishers but the little girl looked a bit bored with it all. |
 |
| I gave them a wave and they all waved back. |
 |
| Two proud finishers with their medals. |
 |
| Even this lovely Spaniel in fancy dress got a medal! |
 |
| Popcorn didn't know what to make of this. Maybe he wants a medal in next year's Santa Run? NO WAY!! |

Oh what fun, David! I love that kind of community spirit. It’s so heartening to see. Wonderful! Popcorn looks very smart in his jersey there, but I agree the spaniel stole the doggy show. Lovely photos altogether. Thank you. Happy New Year to you from me and Zoe! 🎊
