Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone all the best for a Healthy and Happy 2009!


December Weather

Well December has given us some interesting contrasts in its last couple of weeks - from frosty days to damp and mild ones, then back to clear and crisp, and frosty once again.

2009 will bring a whole new technological Weather Extravaganza courtesy of the Weather Station I got for Christmas . . . and hopefully something resembling a Summer in due course.
Watch this Space!

All Things Christmas . . .


Another year, another Christmas . . .













Always feel a bit strange about it - not really religious, but love the Tree and the Lights and everything - maybe I'm harking back to Pagan Midwinters or something.


Kind of enjoy the cooking bit as well - although of course we then have to eat it all. Must admit to being rather chuffed with the way the cake turned out - well the way it looks anyway (the holly leaf cutter was well worth the £3.40 investment!) - of course it's already Boxing Day and there's so much else to eat we haven't got as far as cutting it yet!

Anyway, hope yours was a good one . . .

Nadolig Llawen!

Frosty Days Gone By . . .


It looks like we're in for a mild Christmas at the moment, but Monday gone was beautifully frosty. Walked into work somewhat more slowly than usual as kept stopping to take some photos. From frosty fields . . .





To icy leaves . . .









And more lovely scenery . . .





Couldn't resist this final shot, but did rather feel I was the one being watched . . .

Found a frosty symbol!
