As promised, here are some more Ross-in-Bling 2005 photos, taken on Sunday, 18th December on the Tudorville and south west side of town. I was actually intending to take more but whilst I was out, the slight precipitation became rather persistent and I opted for a Chinese takeaway instead. This week has been a really busy one - I've photographed Santa in about a dozen locations and I've been to just about every school in Ross to photograph nativity plays and carol concerts. I even went to the wrong school once as, with all the calls I got confused. If I get time, I will photograph more blings but, to be honest, I'm totally knackered and just about blinged out.

If Ross-in-Bling had been a competition and I had to choose winners, I would give the 'Pretty and Tasteful Street Award' to the Gresleys, the 'Epileptic's Nightmare Award' to Three Crosses Road and just hang on to the 'Ebenezer Scrooge Conservation Award' myself.

Before you enjoy the blings below, leaving Ross-on-Wye for a moment why not allow the wonders of modern science to transport you across the Pond to Canada, from where a regular Wyenot News reader sent me the Mother of all Blings on video. Thank you for that, Peter. At the risk of running my bandwidth bill through the roof - click here to watch and be amazed by this display of blinginess.
