These are this weeks #ilfordfridayfavourites

Thank You
Thank you to everybody that took the time to enter our #ilfordxmas competition this year. We're really looking forward to getting the finished Christmas cards back from our printer.
There were so many images to choose from, and they ranged from traditional Christmas scenes to some that were a little more unusual.
