Happy New Year and all that!

A White Christmas

Hey peeps, it's been a while, apologies. I am in such a funk with Winter I have practically lost the will to do anything.

I hope you all had a relaxing Christmas. I was glad to have a few days away from work, I definitely needed the break and slept through most of it. When I wasn't sleeping I was watching mountains of TV. Netflix took a pounding. Rob and I spent our first Christmas in our new home quietly. We had beef instead of Turkey. Big thanks to all of you who sent cards and pressies. Much appreciated.

Anne and Smiffy popped round between Christmas and New Year, other than that we didn't have any visitors.

The snow held off until about a week ago, and we have had a bit on and off then some rain, then ithas frozen again. We have had some pretty cold temperatures too. One day it went from plu 9 right down to minus 28 with the wind chill in the space of 24 hours. I must say though I am not finding Winter as unbearable as last year, as it has come much later which hopefully, in turn should make it a lot shorter.

Pat our Realtor popped round just before Christmas with a really sweet hand painted Christmas tree ornament (as you can see here). Thankfully it made it through the season without Shakespeare breaking it. He didn't do too badly with the tree, but was pretty upset when we took it down and was still clinging on to the bottom branches as we packed up in the box.

Anyhow nothing much else to report. So I will update again when I have something interesting to say!
