Happy New Year

A little late, I know, but at least it's still January.

One more note on the weather...yesterday we awoke to a fresh blanket of snow. During breakfast the snow turned to freezing rain, and by the time Kassie and I ventured out it was drizzling and, later on, raining.

This is not my idea of winter. Below is a picture of Kassie and one of our hosts venturing out on New Year's Day. We spent the evening and night at their cottage up North and awoke to find everything encrusted with ice. Thank goodness we took our front-wheel drive car up to the top of the hill the night before (and well before the wine, champagne and Crème de Cassis started flowing.)

Is this the new winter landscape?

I daren't show this picture to him indoors as he'll be arriving on your doorstep within 24 hours. It looks so beautiful-- especially when compared to England this January. Here it's like living inside a dishcloth-- mild, damp, clammy and grey.

Happy new year!

I think it looks glorious, and given that other picture you have, the one of the family homestead, it's nice to see some snow. We're taking the boys out for another walk this afternoon. If I get a chance I'll take a snapshot for you. It's blistery cold out. Blowing snow. My poor dogs look like someone's dusted them with icing sugar.

That picture is absolutely glorious. Just like India said, beautiful.

Aren't dishclothes generally rather smelly too, India?
