Happy New Year
A happy and healthy New Year to everyone.
Having seen the New Year in with a glass of sherry and the fabulous fireworks from the Thames (on TV), we woke to a light smattering of snow.
Now that’s what you might call unfair. Snow a week before Christmas, snow a week after Christmas, but on Christmas Day not a white flake to be seen.
“Thank goodness,” Ed says. And my brother, from the East Coast of Maryland who rang to wish us a happy New Year, told me snow at Christmas was over rated.
“A romantic thought,” he said, “but that’s about all.”
Well, there we are. I’m an incurable romantic and delighted to be so. My life is rosy and happy – even without the snow!
Ed and I took a New year’s walk of around three miles (the snow had practically disappeared by then) and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Tomorrow we meet up with two of our three children. to say farewell to Bx who is going back to Swindon on Monday.
Our eldest daughter and family spent the New Year in Northumberland, where they woke to three foot of snow this morning, so our granddaughter has spent the day tobogganing – lucky her.
Great to have family around, though, isn’t it? Even when you have to say farewell for another short spell.
May 2010 bring you all that you desire for yourself and your family and friends.
