Stunning golden horse

The Akhal-Teke is a horse breed from Turkmenistan, where they are a national emblem. They have a reputation for speed and endurance, intelligence, and a distinctive metallic sheen. The shiny coat led to their nickname "Golden Horses". These horses are adapted to severe climatic conditions and are thought to be one of the oldest existing horse breeds.

Christmas humour

A friend of his said, "I thought she wanted one of those 4-wheel drive vehicles?"

"She did," he replied, "But where in the world was I going to find a fake jeep???"

It's that time of the year...

I like to find original ideas for Christmas trees. I must confess that it gets harder to find new ones each year! Some of the trees are different takes on designs previously posted.

[As my memory is a bit dodgy, I hope this collection doesn't contain exact repeats.]
