January grinds to a start...

We've had various amounts of snow over the last three weeks, which has given a stuttering start to 2010. Our trip to London tomorrow is now off, due to BA canceling flights from Newcastle to Heathrow. So no visit to the Toggies, Aaron and Nicola, no theatre visit, and no joining in with Pauline's 60th birthday celebrations. We'll have to get out for a 'nice brisk walk' in the snow (family joke!).The Christmas decorations came down on Wednesday... baubles back in the box... cards recycled... tree up in the loft... always more than a landmark as it is also Nicola and Megan's birthday.
We did manage to see our good friends Kate and Terry, and took Gracie for a bracing walk on the beach before going back to their place for lovely soup. Other pictures here show our field and environs in a lovely blanket of white. It's nice to look at but it's also nice when it melts. It does remind me of Norway though.... mmmmmmm yes, Norway.... perhaps time for another visit this year...?
